Ah, well, if that's all you are trying to accomplish, it's very easy.
Just use the Shading tab of the Table Designer. In the Body Shading
box, choose Shade By Columns, and set the first 1 column to the 
shading you want and the Next 99 columns to no shading. Then
either define it as a new named format or click Update All to save
it as part of the current format's definition.
