Highlight every other line at one time
 
I am trying to highlight every other row to make a document easier to read.
As in only high lighting the odd rows. For some reason I just can't seem to
figure this out.

You can do this with conditional formatting.

Conditional Formatting. Select your range, set up CF like

Formula is =MOD(ROW(),2)=0

Click Format and apply a light color shading to the cells.
