Hi Gail,

The following code will delete all blank rows (except for those with vertically merged cells) in all tables in the document:

Sub DelBlankRows()
Dim Pwd As String
Dim oRow As Integer
Dim oTable As Table
Dim pState As Boolean
With ActiveDocument
pState = False
If .ProtectionType wdNoProtection Then
Pwd = "Password"
pState = True
.Unprotect Pwd
End If
If .Tables.Count 0 Then
For Each oTable In .Tables
For oRow = oTable.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
If Len(Replace(oTable.Rows(oRow).Range.Text, Chr(13) & Chr(7), vbNullString)) = 0 Then
On Error Resume Next 'skip vertically merged cells
oTable.Rows(oRow).Delete
End If
Next oRow
Next oTable
End If
If pState = True Then .Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, Noreset:=True, Password:=Pwd
pState = False
Pwd = ""
End With
End Sub

If the document is protected for forms, you'll need to replace "Password" with the real password (if any)

Cheers
