Change color of column

[Guest]

I am trying to change the background color on one column.
The only thing it will let me do is change the background
on the whole table. Can someone please tell me how to do
this?

Select the column by clicking on the column header, ie the grey bit that has A,
or B or C on it. Now do Format / cells / pattern / change the colour

Click on the top of column such as column B, you will
notice that the whole column is highlited....then go to
the fill Icon on the tool bar and select your color. The
background color of the color you chose should then fill
in your column
