Default Word 2007 tables - adding multiple rows

Is there any way to add multiple rows to a Word 2007 table all at once?
(without selecting existing rows first). For instance, I want to quickly add
20 rows to a three row table. Thank you.

Thumbs up Answer: Word 2007 tables - adding multiple rows

Yes, there is a quick and easy way to add multiple rows to a Word 2007 table all at once. Here's how:
  1. Place your cursor in the row where you want to add the new rows.
  2. Right-click on the row and select "Insert Rows Below" from the drop-down menu.
  3. In the "Insert Rows" dialog box that appears, enter the number of rows you want to add in the "Number of rows" field.
  4. Click "OK" to add the new rows to your table.

That's it! You can now enter your data into the new rows. This method allows you to add multiple rows to your table quickly and easily, without having to select existing rows first.

Default 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.

Default 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.

Default 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.

Default 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?

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
