Ed,

Thanks for the help. I think I can use that formula. I have not had a chance
to work with it other than to give it quick try. I assume there is a way to
automatically make that happen on each page.

If by "page" you mean each worksheet, you will have to do each sheet
individually.

Did you (or anyone?) have any comment on the question about how to eliminate
the vast amount of unused cells so that the file size is something more
reasonable for emailing?

Excel worksheets have a fixed number of rows and columns. These cannot be
deleted. If not used, file size will not be any larger.

If Excel thinks the used range on a worksheet is much larger than you think it
should be see Debra Dalgleish's site for methods of taming the used range on a
worksheet.

Hi Tom,

Use conditional formatting. Set the "Formula is" format to
=MOD(ROW(A1),2)=1 and the format to a pattern fill.
