Yes, I have done exactly that and it works most of the time. Regarding 
this particular cell, which is the sole cell in the table: When the 
background color is changed, that change is only apparent in a narrow 
area next to the border.

This phenomena has prompted me to speculate that some sort of 
highlighting has inadvertently been applied to the text, but if my 
speculation is correct, I have not been able to change or disable 
highlighting for that text.
