shading rows
 

Just select the rows to be shaded.

Goto HomeStylesConditional Formatting

Select New Rule

Select Use a formula to determine which cells to format

In the editbox, enter =MOD(ROW(),2)=0

Click Format and select the Fill tab

Select a colour and OK out

Re-read Bob's posting.

He explains how to do it using Conditional Formatting as you want.
