    To add to what John has said, also ensure that "Banded Rows" is selected in the Table Style Options group on the Table Design tab on the ribbon.

    You can use a built-in table style that has alternate row banding. Look in the Table Design>Table Styles gallery where there are several such designs in the Grid Table and List Table sections.
