Default simulate greenbar computer paper?

I have a sample of what I would like a report to look like in the middle of
one of my documents. It is in it's own "section". Is there any way to
simulate the look of greenbar computer paper? It does not have to be
perfect; if I could just make the background for every two lines pale green,
that would be fine.

I tried using the highlighter, but the green is way too bright, and it only
highlights the line as far as there is text. Since each line has a
different length, the end of the highlighting is staggered.

Thanks!!!

Okay - that was strange. I don't know why this posted so many copies. I
editted it in my outbox before sending it, but can't figure out how I sent
so many SORRY!!!

If you're using Word 2002 or 2003, you can create a table style (call it
'greenbar'). In the style dialog, select Table as style type, then select
'odd row stripes' (or 'even row stripes') and from the paint bucket (shading
color) select whatever color you'd like and click ok. Once you've created
the style, you can either apply the style to an existing table (click within
the table & click the style name) or, if there's no table, you can click on
the style name & it will prompt you for the size table you want.
