Changing background colour in tables

[JasminS]

Is it possible to change the background colour of the separate cells in a table? I know how to change the background colour of the whole table, but I would like each row to be a different colour. Is this possible. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi there, @JasminS ...

Yup...you can do this by editing the HTML code for the table.  For example, if you made a table that looked like this:

...the code for that would look like this:

<table border="2" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td style="background-color: #d2e67c;">Content A</td>
			<td style="background-color: #d2e67c;">Content B</td>
			<td style="background-color: #d2e67c;">Content C</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td style="background-color: #63bfc9;">Content D</td>
			<td style="background-color: #63bfc9;">Content E</td>
			<td style="background-color: #63bfc9;">Content F</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td style="background-color: #be7fd4;">Content G</td>
			<td style="background-color: #be7fd4;">Content H</td>
			<td style="background-color: #be7fd4;">Content I</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

I hope this will help a bit.  Sing out if you have any other questions...thanks!

Yes. You can click on the table and cell properties tool to accomplish this. Once yo click on one of those, click the advanced option. You can change background color from that menu.
