would like to also. Example (copied from a CALC spreadsheet):

Does anybody know of a technique of placing shading on alternate
rows in CALC, as shown above? Does this require use of macros or is
there a function that can accomplish this?
o Click the rectangle at top left where the row and column headers
meet (or go to Edit | Select All, or press Ctrl+A) to select the
entire sheet (or as appropriate).
o Go to Format | Conditional Formatting... .
o For Condition 1, select "Formula is".
o In the box, enter MOD(ROW();2) .
o Click New Style... .
o On the Organiser tab, against Name, enter your new style's name -
perhaps "Shading" or "Pink"?
o On the Background tab, choose your background colour.
o OK.
o OK.
This gives shading on odd rows. If you want even rows shaded, change
the formula to MOD(ROW();2)-1 . By ticking Condition 2 and adding
another cell style, you can arrange to have both odd and even rows
shaded but differently.
Implementing alternate row shading in my spreadsheets might lead to
some difficulties, since I often use a sorting routine.
Sorting data should not disturb this shading technique.
I trust this helps.
