If you set up alternating rows as part of a table style, the alternation
will be preserved when you move rows.

The word template table I designed as a template for my various passwords
has
a gray background with alternating white and dark gray coloured lines to
give
an embossed appearance. When I enter info and then sort alphabetically
with
the €œtable tools€� tab, €œlayout€� tab and €œsort€� in the data section, the
text
sorts properly, except some coloured lines will also shift, ie, two lines
of
the same colour losing the embossed look. Is there any way to sort text
only
and have no effect on the background design.
Hope you can help, Thanks
