What version of Word? It might be possible to "rig" something but not by way
of any built-in option. Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 6/13/08 10:40 AM, in article , "Rotorman" wrote: How can I place alternating gray bars on my text document to make scanning across the page easier? |

To: Rotorman,
Is each line a paragraph? (A "paragraph" is merely text which ends with a paragraph mark. By toggling the Show/Hide icon, you can see the otherwise invisible paragraphs.) If so, would it be possible to put your text in a table? If every text is a paragraph, you could place it into a one-column table. Once the text is in a table. You could run the following macro. '**** '* Macro: ShadeEveryOtherRow shades every other row of a table. '* If you add new rows to the table, just re-run this macro. '* If you want the first row to be shaded, change "bClear = True" to False. '* There are a number of different shades of Grey possible, '* wdColorGray05 is very light, wdColorGray50 is very dark, '* by increments of five, there are shades between these two. '**** Sub ShadeEveryOtherRow() Dim oRow As Row Dim bClear As Boolean If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) = False Then MsgBox "The cursor must be positioned in the table you want to shade." _ & vbCr & vbCr & "Position the cursor and run this macro again." Else bClear = True For Each oRow In Selection.Tables(1).Rows If bClear Then oRow.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorWhite Else oRow.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorGray10 End If bClear = Not bClear Next oRow End If End Sub Steven Craig Miller "Rotorman" wrote: How can I place alternating gray bars on my text document to make scanning across the page easier? |
