Can Excel automatically color highlight entire row of cell I'm in
Can Excel automatically color highlight (or with bold lines on top and
bottom) the row that I'm working in? I have a spreadsheet with 219 rows and about 137 columns. I have friends helping me to enter data for my Master's project so I really want accuracy to not be a problem. As they use the arrow buttons to fill in information from column to column in the same record (i.e. row), I would like it to be plainly obvious which record they're in... more than just the higlighted row number. Bells and whistles, you know? I can't find any automatic view of guidelines or "rulers" of this sort so maybe I need to look in Visual Basic or Macros. ANY IDEAS? Thanks in advance! |

Thanks Dave. The add in works great for my computer with Office XP but I
can't get it to load onto an older computer with Office 2000. Thanks so much for the help... it'll help my work greatly! Steph "Dave Peterson" wrote: you may want to try Chip Pearson's Rowliner: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/RowLiner.htm Dave Peterson |

From the top of Chip's site:
.... For Excel 2000, you must have the SR1 patch installed. Otherwise you may receive an "Illegal Operation" message. .... Are you running xl2k sr1? Estephanina wrote: Thanks Dave.
