2 questions about tables
(1) How do I add multiple new empty rows to an existing table.
(2) Is there any way to copy a list of data into an already created table e.g. I have a list of names: Smith Jones Walker... and I need to copy the list into a table such that each name goes into a separate row and the middle column of a 3 column table. Thanks, -- Dorian "Give someone a fish and they eat for a day; teach someone to fish and they eat for a lifetime". |

2 questions about tables
Hi Dorian,
In my opinion, the simplest ways to do these things are as follows. 1) To add multiple rows to a table, place your cursor in a cell in the first column, press Shift+Down to select a number of cells equal to the number of rows that you want to add, and then click on the menu (pre-2007) or ribbon (2007) option for adding rows above or below the selected cells. 2) To insert a list of data into a table, select the list, and click on the menu (pre-2007) or ribbon (2007) option to convert text to table using paragraph separation. Then copy the newly created table to the clipboard, select the cells in the table where you want the list to appear, and paste the clipboard contents into the selected cells. -- Hope this helps, Pesach Shelnitz "Dorian" wrote: (1) How do I add multiple new empty rows to an existing table.

2 questions about tables
(1) Either select cells in a column (or lots of columns) equal to the
number of additional rows you want, and click Insert Rows Below in the Table Layout part of the Ribbon / Tables menu; Or, put your cursor at the end of the last row but before the final round "paragraph mark" (you should always have Show Paragraph Marks turned on) and press Tab or Enter (keep pressing Tab to get more rows, but if you use Enter you have to go past the last cell in the bottom row); Or, select complete rows of another table, Copy or Cut, select a row in the target table, Paste, and new rows are inserted above the row you selected., (2) Convert the text to table (find the command in pretty much the same place), select the cells, Copy, then select the cells in the column you want to paste them into, and Paste. If you select too many cells the info will start duplicating in the extra cells. On Jun 29, 4:15*pm, Dorian wrote: (1) How do I add multiple new empty rows to an existing table.

2 questions about tables
Hi Dorian,
My answer to question 2) can be simplified. There is no need to convert the list to a table. Simply select the list and press Ctrl+C (or Ctrl+Insert) to copy it to the clipboard. Then select the cells in the table where you want the list to appear, and press Ctrl+V (or Shift+Insert) to paste the clipboard contents into the selected cells. Pesach |
