Shading
 

Hi
I wondered if there was any way I caould shade certain lines in a document
automatically?

I want to shade every 5th row , on the whole document.

I hoped there may be a quicker way than going through the worksheet manually.

Many thanks

One play with Conditional Formatting
(xl2003 steps)

Select the entire sheet (A1 active), then
click Format Conditional Formatting,
apply using Formula Is: =MOD(ROW(),5)=0,
Format the fill to taste (eg: green) OK

Experiment with various values, eg:
=MOD(ROW(),5)=1,
=MOD(ROW(),5)=2, etc
