How do I turn off the shading on the first row of my Table?

I have to type a lot of information in, and managed to get a "Table" going in my Pages Document.

Unfortunately, and for a reason that seems to be inexplicable to me, the top row of the table is shaded. Sort of like a Half-tone or Zippatone sort of graphic effect. Or whatever you call it. Maybe a lot of people like that sort of thing, but not me.

How do I turn off the shading on the top row of my table?

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

The top row of the table is a header row, the 1st column is too. They are both light grey to differentiate them from normal rows and columns.
If you don't need the special headers you can remove them. Select & right click Delete works as does turning them off using the table icons on the right of the format bar.

If you need the headers but don't like the colour just remove it via the fill option on the format bar and in the inspector.
The pdf guide will help to get you up to speed too.
