>> I am also trying to make the totals "line" to stretch (colspan) over the table to create a line to divide the sections on this table

Here's a patch that shows one way of making a solid Total line. It's a bit of cop-out because, rather than attempting to span columns, it's highlighting all cells on rows that contain "Total:".

    That's one more good trick I learned, but the issue is if you have table border set to 1 the trick doesn't work because the borders cut the long colored row in cell piece. But thanks for trying!
