All,

Those of you who have tried Dr. Story's Colored Table (Tip 4C)
probably received an error on compilation similar to this:

! LaTeX Error: File `colortbl.sty' not found.

That's because this style file does not come with the Standard
MikTeX distribution. So, you ask, what am I to do? The answer is
to visit CTAN (Comprehensive Tex Archive Network) and download the
file you need (or just use the one that I have attached to this
email message).

I went to:

ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex2e/contrib/supported/carlisle/

There I found two files: colortbl.dtx and colortbl.ins. I created
a new directory called colortbl at c:\texmf\tex\latex\. I then
downloaded colortbl.dtx and colortbl.ins into the folder
c:\texmf\tex\latex\colortbl. Then I opened colortbl.ins (the ins
stands for install file) in WinEdt. I set this as the Main File,
then Latex'ed it. This creates a new file in the colortbl
directory called colortbl.sty, the file we need. For those of you
who have just grabbed colortbl.sty from this email, just place
this file into the folder c:\texmf\tex\latex\colortbl. You don't
need to worry about the dtx and ins files being present. They are
not needed after they generate the sty file.

Of course, you must now update the Miktex filename data base as we
have discussed before.

If you try to view the DVI file in YAP, it's all black. This is
because YAP doesn't understand color. But, if you return to
WinEdt, click dvi->ps and click the little ghost icon to open the
ps file in GSView, there is Dr. Story's table in beautiful color.
