Strange white background behind text in tables after import

[zombieCraig]

I've imported a document with a lot of tables.  On most of the tables where I had alternating grey background color you can see there is a white bar behind the text.  I've tried to fix this but the cell has color and the text background doesn't.  Even if I make the text background match it doesn't cover the whole cell.  I've been working on this for a long time but I am stumped and could really use an extra set of eyes.

Any ideas how to remove the strange white bars between the cell and the text?

Please copy one of the affected tables to a new document and upload that document to the forum, that will most likely be the quickest way to see what is happening

For instance: (alternatively a Paragraph Decoration may be involved)

Attached is a document with some of the bad tables.  You can see the Fill is set correctly on the cell and the text background is set to transparent.  Not sure where the issue lies...

Select a Table with the Move Tool

Go into the paragraph panel and switch off all decorations

Does that give the formatting you are looking for?

@carl123 You are the BEST!  Yes there was a fill decoration that was causing the issue.  I never found that. Thank you so much!

If you need to fix all tables in the document, at once, you can do Select Object > Tables then switch off the decorations.
