## SYMPTOMS

After creating a table and applying a table format, the Include Shading and Include Borders options do not clear the shading and borders of the table as the sample (preview) implies.

## RESOLUTION

1. Select the table.
2. From the Tools menu, choose AutoFormat.
3. Choose [Default] or [None] to clear the previous shading and borders.
4. Select the table.
5. From the Tools menu, choose AutoFormat.
6. Under Table Format, select a new table format.

NOTE: Make desired selections regarding Include Shading and Include Borders before applying a new format.

## MORE INFORMATION

### Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Create a table.
2. Select the table.
3. From the Tools menu, choose AutoFormat.
4. Choose any table format other than [Default] or [None]. Make sure Include Shading and Include Borders are selected. Choose OK.
5. Select the table
6. From the Tools menu, choose AutoFormat.
7. Choose any table format other than [Default] or [None]. Clear the Include Shading and Include Borders options. Choose OK.

The expected result is that the table will look like the preview image. However, if during steps 4 and 7 above the same table format was chosen, the table will not change. If during steps 4 and 7 different table formats were chosen, those options that were cleared in the Options menu will not change; the table will retain the shading and borders of the original table.
