Simple and quick Excel question [SOLVED]

So I need to record a lot of data for work on a spreadsheet that is going to have like 100+ entries easily with each entry a seperate row. How do I make the spreadsheet have rows alternate white/grayish for easier reading and recording?

Thanks!

    There are a few ways you can do it, but you may as well hit F1 to bring up help and type in "shade alternate rows" which should give you good instructions for how to do it.

    No problemo. That way, too, you're sure to get help for your specific version of Excel. :D
