Abusing change bars has worked for the shaded/unshaded signoff column. No tables where used.

In my testing now I am able to use two change bars to do the unshading of the sign-off column. Just one more test to do before implementing it into production. Fingers crossed.

My initial idea is to set a bg color on the page of grey on the right side as part of the page head. Then on the footer add another bg image of the borders for the two columns represented by the grey'd area. Then I was going to use change bars on the page body to do the color change to white and position them appropriately above the grey'd area. Maybe now if I do the same as above without the change bars and instead use the outside border of the current block to do the change on the outer column to white and then use a bg image to take care of the first column into white and use padding to make sure the content does not intrude upon the sign-off columns. This could work nicely. I was also thinking of giving everything change bars of grey and only changing them to white when necessary and see how this might work. Thanks Eliot for the suggestion. Much appreciated!

For example, if you made the outside edge border as wide as your page margin you might be able to get what you want, but you'd have to play with how you set up the page geometry so the blocks can put their very-side borders into what would otherwise be the side region of the page. Beyond that I can't think of anything other than tables you could do in a one-pass process. With tables you'd want to make each block its own one-row table to avoid memory issues.
