I never have a problem with colouring/filling cells, but this time seems to
only fill colour within a cell surrounding text - please help!!

Please help us to help you, by describing clearly what steps you usually
use, what you did differently this time, and exactly how the result is
different from what you expected. Also mention what version of Word you
have.
