[mso] Cell Shading

I have a regular Word table in a .doc that is comprised of rotating group #'s.  
So row one cell A1 is #1, B1 is #2 and across thru #8 (so 8 columns).  Row two 
cell A2 is #8, B2 is #1, C2 is #2 and across thru #7 and each row continues to 
rotate the numbers.  So diagonally you will have the same number.

I want to shade all #1's light yellow, #2's light blue, etc.

Is there a way to non-contiguously select cells and then shade?  So I can 
select the entire diagonal group of the same number and shade one color?

Is this better done in an Excel table?
