How can I apply the 3D "fill effect" used in shapes for tables?

If it's not possible to apply it as a background to my table directly from
Frontpage, what is the folder to find these 3D gradients on my PC? thanks.

It seems you can only add solid colours in the RGB range as a table/cell
background

What you could do is make an image and apply that as the table's background.

In Paintshop Pro or Image Composer or whatever, make an image, apply a
gradient, and then save the image as jpg, import into your web, then apply
the image as the table's background.

There are no gradient images. The gradients applied in shapeart use VML
graphics. This is script/data written into the HTML code and interpreted by
the browser. Note that only later versions of Internet Explorer are capable
of interpreting this code - other browsers render nothing, or use poor
quality .gif images (.gifs are very bad for gradients - they cannot display
sufficient colours).
As Andrew has said, use a graphics editor to create your background image.

My solution could also present problems: I believe not all browsers support
table background images (or table cell b/ground images for that matter).
