Shading MSProject 2002 Cells?

Its not possible to shade the whole cell, but you could use a customised flag field to highlight tasks with a graphical indicator.
Flag the tasks you want to highlight with a Yes, then customise the flag field to show a colored indicator for Yes values.
I know its not quite the same but it might do the job. This would also work with the grouping of tasks, you could group on the flag field, but when not in the group there would still be an indicator of the category of task.

Ok Thanks.
