It would be nice if when you do a search in the help on moving rows in a
table this key combination actual came up. In stead the recommendation is to
use the drag and drop technique.

What happens if you click in a row in the middle of a table (you do not need
to select the entire row) and press Alt+Shift+Up Arrow or Down Arrow €“ does
this also split the table?
Note that If the topmost row(s) are in the selection and if the table is not
in the start of the document, this method will split the row(s) from the
original table.

Hi all,
This is one of those "it's so broken i must be getting the wrong idea"
things...
in word 2007 whenever i try to move some rows within a table, it splits the
table into 3 tables - the rows before the ones I moved; the rows i moved; and
the rows after. the 3 tables abut each other and I can't see any way to join
them back together into 1 table.
This happens every time in every document - it's not just a one-off
corrupted table problem. it happens whether i use cut and paste or drag and
drop.
the only way I can move or copy is to make space in the table by inserting
new rows and then copy the contents by making sure I only select the cells,
not the entire row (i.e. not selecting the end-of-row marker)
any clues please - am i missing a patch or something? this makes word tables
unusable for me with office 20087
