[mso] Re: Highlight lines in Word (2000) through entire document?

Hi Robert,
As Diane said there is not way to do the highlighting aromatically every so 
many lines but there is a way to select the lines you want to highlight a bit 
faster.
I am not sure if you are aware of this, but you can move your pointer to the 
left margin of the page (just before the beginning of the lines). This will 
turn the pointer into an arrow pointing up and to the right (instead of the 
regular up and pointing to the left). Once the arrow changes like that, just 
align the arrow with the line you want to select then click once. This will 
select the whole line with 1 click.
You can then hold the Ctrl key down and click next to each line you want to 
select bu skipping the ones you do not want to highlight.
This is at least easier than dragging your mouse over the length of each line.
Hope this helps
Abed

Subject: [mso] Highlight lines in Word (2000) through entire document?

Hello. When I search for _*Highlight Lines In Word 2000*_, most of my 
hits are for Excel, which explains how to highlight rows. In this case, 
I would like to make every third line highlight simply for easier 
reading.  Can this be done for an entire document in Word 2000 without 
having to do it manually for 37 pages?

Thanks.

Robert
