It's done by using your fill color. First highlight the row or the
cells in the row that you want to fill with color, then use the drop
down list next to the paint can on your toolbar...it shows you your
available list of colors...then choose the color.

Here's a small tip...after you color 2 or 3 rows the way you want them
to look...copy all of them and then paste them down the sheet to make
formatting easier.

Hope this helps.

Try this then delete or insert a row.

What happens to the pattern?
