Here’s a simple but powerful formatting trick: Add a shaded background to every second row. Alternating row formatting gives a bit of polish to the plainest report, but it also serves a practical purpose. In dense reports, the shaded bands make it easier for readers to distinguish each row and follow a row from one column to the next.
To apply an alternating row format, you need to click immediately to the left of any row. At that point, the entire row becomes selected, and the Report Layout Tools | Formatting 
Font Alternate Fill button is turned on. (The Alternate Fill button looks like a mini-grid. It appears right under the Fill button.) You can click it, and then choose a color.
If you click one of the values in the row, the Alternate Fill button won’t be turned on, and you won’t be able to change the alternating fill color.
8.3.1.3. Gridlines
When you create a new report, your data is arranged in an invisible table. This table doesn’t include any gridlines, so your printouts look sleek and lightweight. But if you’re a closet gridline lover, you’ll be happy to know you can add borders to the report table. It’s up to you whether you want to add them everywhere to keep data carefully regimented in separate cells or just use them judiciously to highlight important columns.
Tip: Gridlines are useful with dense reports where the data may otherwise appear to run together into a jumbled mess. Access gurus know that less is more and using just a few gridlines is usually better than adding them between every column and row.
You can apply gridlines in two ways. The simplest and most common option is to apply them to the entire table. To do this, click anywhere inside the table of report data, and then choose one of the gridline options from the Report Layout Tools | Formatting Gridlines Gridlines list (Figure 8-17). Next, use the other buttons in the Report Layout Tools | Formatting Gridlines section to change the thickness, color, and style (dashed, dotted, solid, and so on) of your gridlines.
Note: There’s one trick to gridlines. You can apply gridlines to the column headings that are different from the ones you use for the rest of the table. To apply gridlines to the column-heading section, just click any column heading, and then choose your gridline options from the ribbon.
8.3.1.4. Borders
Along with report gridlines, you can also use a similar set of border options. The difference between gridlines and borders is that gridlines apply to the table of report data, while borders can be attached to any ingredient in your report.
Figure 8-17. The commands in the Gridlines section of the ribbon let you apply gridlines in the most common patterns: everywhere, between columns only, between rows only, around the outside of your data, and so on. You can also choose a line style (solid, dotted, dashed, and so on), thickness, and color.
You’ll find the three border buttons (for choosing border thickness, color, and style) in the Report Layout Tools | Formatting Controls section of the ribbon. The border options don’t make much sense when you use them on column values, because you’ll end up with a box around each value. Borders are more useful around other report elements, like the report title.
