Thanks Dawn. I have already tried that, and I always have my hidden
characters on (it makes formatting so much easier). Unfortunately, Word 2003
still treats the inserted rows like a separate table, so instead of one
table, I end up with three tables - the rows before the inserted rows, the
inserted rows and the rows after the inserted rows! Do you have this problem
with this version? The only time this has happened is since I have started
using Word 2003. I would appreciate any further advice you can give.

A trick I try is make sure that there is a paragraph marker between the
table that is there and where you are pasting your two new rows. Then
delete the paragraph marker, and the two tables should join together into
one. (Be sure you turn on your hidden characters so you can see what is
between your tables.)

I am having a problem when pasting rows into an existing table. Instead of
being incorporated into the existing table, and being able to select the
whole table, Word treats the insertion as a separate table, so I cannot
format the whole thing. It is driving me crazy, and I don't know how to
make
it stop dfoing it. earlier versions of Word don't do that. Can anyone
help???
