shading alternate rows
Hi
I have a table with four columns and several rows. I want to shade each alternate row. I am manually shading at the moment. Is there a way I can speed it up by copying and pasting the shaded rows? -- Jackie D

It depends a bit on what version of Word you have but take a look at Table
AutoFormat to set up a striped table. -- Enjoy, Tony "Jackie D" wrote in message ... Hi I have a table with four columns and several rows. I want to shade each alternate row. I am manually shading at the moment. Is there a way I can speed it up by copying and pasting the shaded rows? -- Jackie D

In Word 2002 and 2003, you also have access to table styles (the successor
to AutoFormats, they can be user-defined), and row striping is one of the properties you can define in the style. Although table styles are flaky in other ways (see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/tablestyles/index.html), they can be extremely helpful when you need alternate row shading. -- Suzanne S.
