May I add, I have a document that has nested tables that this macro missed. I
found that I have to iterate over oTable.Tables (which I created another sub
to do that I called reiteratively). Just thought you would like to know.

If sorting is not an options, you can use the macro below:

Sub DeleteEmptyRows_AllTables()

Dim oTable As Table
Dim oRow As Row

For Each oTable In ActiveDocument.Tables
For Each oRow In oTable.Rows
'Check whether row is empty - delete if it is
If Len(oRow.Range.Text) = oRow.Cells.Count * 2 + 2 Then
oRow.Delete
End If
Next oRow
Next oTable

End Sub

How it works:
The macro iterates through all tables in the active document and finds (and
deletes) the empty rows by checking the total string length of each row.
- An empty cell includes a cell maker with a length of 2
- In addition, each row includes an end of row marker with a length of 2
Therefore, the row is empty if the string length is equal to the number of
cells in the row multiplied by 2 + 2.

You will find another macro version at:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/DeleteEmptyRows.htm

NOTE that both macro versions will fail if the table contains vertically
merged cells (requires some error handling).

If the table content is such that it can be sorted, then all blank rows will
sort to the top and can be easily deleted as a group. Barring that, you'll
need some sort of macro.

How do i delete blank rows from tables in an automated manner? My table is
200 pages and contains random blank rows due to another automated process,
and I want to be able to search/replace blank rows or somehow delete them.
