Hi olwenh,

if it has to be, you may define a global variable R
of allowed rows for a table,
also a global table object T.
And in addition a selection-change event,
which checks the number of rows in T.

I don't think you can prevent the adding of a row,
but you may delete the last row, immediately after
it was created.

' ---------------- NewMacros
Option Explicit
Dim oAppClass As New ThisApplication
Dim R As Long
Dim T As Table

Sub Macro1() ' Or autoexec, autonew or whatever
Set oAppClass.oApp = Word.Application
Set T = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
R = T.Rows.Count
End Sub

Sub Test4()
If T.Rows.Count R Then
T.Rows.Last.Delete
End If
End Sub

' ----------------------- ThisApplication

Option Explicit
Public WithEvents oApp As Word.Application

Private Sub oApp_WindowSelectionChange(ByVal Sel As Selection)
Test4 ' or the code of Test4
End Sub

A weird workaraound, sure.
