colors and tables and fields

[RGould8 at aol.com]

I've been using fields and tables to create some pretty sophisticated dynamic 
calendaring/scheduling apps.   There's so many features in Rev for coloring 
cells and borders and backgrounds that it's easy to get overwhelmed.   Can 
anyone tell me if there's a way to:

1)   Change the color of the background of just 1 "cell" of a table object - 
- - not just the background of the text in that cell, but the entire cell, 
from edge to edge.

2)   I've been using the "topcolor" and "bottomcolor" properties to add a 
red-line to the top of certain text fields.   Unfortunately, this also has the 
effect of adding a red-line to the left of the field as well.   Is there a 
command that will enable me to add a red-line to just the top of a field (spanning 
the whole width of the field), without impacting any other edges?   Something 
like set the topbordercolor of field "test" = "red"
