Word 2007 tables - adding multiple rows
There doesn't seem to be. IMO this is unfortunate. In Word 2003 I usually
select rows, right-click, and use Insert Rows, but I assumed that the Table | Insert | Rows Above/Rows Below commands would open a dialog allowing me to select the number of rows to insert (in the same way that the Table | Insert | Table... command does (although I should have known better since the menu items don't end in ellipses). There *should* be such a dialog IMO. FWIW, the quickest way to insert multiple rows at once (though inserting a specific number can be hairy) is to select one or two rows and insert, then select the new rows along with the old ones and press F4 (Repeat); continue to add the new rows to the old ones and press F4 to increase the number inserted. Still not terribly satisfactory, but at least better than adding one or two rows at a time. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2007 tables - adding multiple rows
Hi R,
You can do it, but not quite with a one step process (although you could use a macro to put the steps together). If your cursor is just below the end of the table you can use Insert=Table=Insert Table and enter the number of columns and rows, The new rows will attach to the other table. If you're adding in the middle of a table you can use the same technique but first use Table=Layout=Split Table. After adding the rows delete the blank line after the new rows to reattach the two table parts. If you right click on the Insert=Table=Insert Table and add it to the Quick Access Toolbar you can popup the dialog with one click. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut (via Alt, T, O, C) to TableInsertTable command (which is in the 'All Commands' list in keyboard customization). I generally add one a keyboard shortcut to the TableInsertRow command and just add them in the middle of the table where my cursor is with that keyboard shortcut as I go. ================== "rgille" wrote in message news Is there any way to add multiple rows to a Word 2007 table all at once?

Word 2007 tables - adding multiple rows
Hi,
You can assign a new shortcut key for inserting multiple rows in a table. a. Click on the Tools menu, click Customize. b. Click Keyboard. c. Under Categories, locate table. d. Under Commands, select TableInsertrow. e. Place the cursor under the box, Press New shortcut key. f. Type the shortcut key suitable for you. Just like u can use Ctrl + Shift + I. g. Click on the Assign button on the right side. h. Click Close. that'z it. You can easily add new rows using the shortcut key. Hope this information helps you.

Word 2007 tables - adding multiple rows
Bob,
When I add new rows in gangs like this, Word splits the table (sort of) at every fourth row. At each fourth row, there's a thicker horizontal line, that line shows a different "whole table" icon at the upper left coner, and table formatting stops at these lines. How do I turn this off? -- Thomas Quinn, CISSP, AAA President, The Hollis Group, Inc. tquinnatsignhollisgroupdotcom 610.889.7350 "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi R, You can do it, but not quite with a one step process (although you could use a macro to put the steps together).

Word 2007 tables - adding multiple rows
Using a macro can make the process fairly simple.
Sub AddMultipleRows() Dim pStr As String 'User input If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) = True Then On Error GoTo Err_Handler Err_ReEntry: pStr = InputBox("Enter the number of rows to add.", "Add Rows", "1") If StrPtr(pStr) = 0 Then 'User cancel Exit Sub Else Selection.InsertRowsBelow pStr End If End If Exit Sub Err_Handler: If Err.Number = 5146 Then 'Invalid number Beep Application.StatusBar = "Please enter a valid number" Resume Err_ReEntry End If End Sub On Mar 22, 2:28*am, bindum31 wrote: Thanks for sharing this nice shortcuts.. *:-) "Suzanne S.
