RowLiner Add-In
This page describes the RowLiner drawing add-in.
The RowLiner add-in draws grid lines on the worksheet outlining the active cell.
This makes it easier to read across many columns and many rows. Additionally, it
can highlight the active cell in color. RowLiner draws its own shapes on the
worksheet so it will not disturb any cell formatting or Conditional Formatting.
RowLiner will draw any one or more of four outlining lines: Left Vertical, Right
Vertical, Top Horizontal, Bottom Horizontal.
This add-in will not work in 64-bit Excel.
The image to the right illustrates the shapes drawn by RowLiner. In this
image, RowLiner has drawn red vertical lines, blue horizontal lines, and
partially highlighted the active cell. Using the RowLiner configuration
screen, you can specify which lines to draw and the style, weight, and
color of the lines.
When you load the RowLiner add-in, it will add an item to your View
menu. From that menu item, you can select the Setup screen and enable or
disable RowLiner's drawing function. Also, the RowLiner enable item is
added to the right-click menu.
The RowLiner setup screen is shown below.
The options are described below.
Enable Row And Column Lines turns the RowLiner drawing function
on and off.
Remove Lines Before Printing erases the lines before a print
operation so the lines will not appear on printed output.
Row Options and Column Options settings determine
which lines are drawn and the weight, style, and color of the lines.
Nudge Down and Nudge Left move the bottom horizontal
line down and the right vertical line to the left of the cells
gridlines. This overrides the Align To Grid setting.
