WordPerfect 11 users: See important information about using macros in the first release of WP11 (11.0.0.233) at the top of this page.

"Underlines" every Nth row in a table starting at the top of each page. It works on tables that span dozens of pages by starting from the top of the table and processing each selected row to the end of the table. The macro sets the bottom cell line(s) in these rows to a user-selectable line style (single, dashed, etc.), creates an optional fill (e.g., 10%), and clears other table cell lines, fills, and borders so they won't display or print. Useful for tables used for directories, lists, etc., where horizontal "dividers" are desired for improved readability or appearance.

Place the insertion cursor anywhere in the table, select the frequency of rows to process, the line style and fill, and play the macro. The chosen bottom cell borders in those rows are turned on; all other cell lines, fills, and table borders are turned off.

NOTE: The ROWLINES.ZIP file contains a small "read me" document and two versions of the macro. One version (the original) uses a "Please Wait" message, the other (RowLineP.wcm) uses a progress indicator ("gas guage meter"). They are otherwise identical.
