Automatic Alternate Row Shading For Tables?
Hi Folks,
I have several reports with tables created in Word 2003 that I am constantly updating, deleting rows, adding rows. I need the report to have alternate row shading (every other row that is). I create similar reports in Access 2003 and found some VBA code at Microsoft's website to do this for me automatically. Is there a similar way to do this in Word so I don't have to it manually which can be very time consuming. Thanks in advance for any and all help provided. :-) Roger Tregelles Quality Assurance Engineer Respironics Inc. |

Automatic Alternate Row Shading For Tables?
Create - or use a built in - Table Style with alternate row shading.
In the style dialog there is a dropdown labelled "Apply formatting to" and you can select "Even Row stripes" and "Odd row stripes" and format each as you wish. -- Enjoy, Tony "Roger Tregelles" wrote in message ...
