Removing selected rows from a table
I have a table full of names, addresses, d.o.b's etc of people in my football
team. When I call them to see if they are available to play this week I put an "Y" in the "available" column next to their name. eg Name l ---------l Available ------------------------------- David l l Y Mike l l Sam l l Al l l Y Tom l l I then remove all of the columns without a "Y" but it takes forever. Is there a way of asking Word to remove all columns without a "Y" automatically? Thanks |

Removing selected rows from a table
Not automatically, no. But you could sort the table on the Available column:
then all the non-availables will come together and you can delete them all at once. Although this will work perfectly well in Word, what you really have here is a small database. Excel would be a better choice. "SammyT" wrote in message ... I have a table full of names, addresses, d.o.b's etc of people in my football team.
