If the table content is such that it can be sorted, then all blank rows will
sort to the top and can be easily deleted as a group. Barring that, you'll need some sort of macro. -- Suzanne S.

If sorting is not an options, you can use the macro below:
Sub DeleteEmptyRows_AllTables() Dim oTable As Table Dim oRow As Row For Each oTable In ActiveDocument.Tables For Each oRow In oTable.Rows 'Check whether row is empty - delete if it is If Len(oRow.Range.Text) = oRow.Cells.Count * 2 + 2 Then oRow.Delete End If Next oRow Next oTable End Sub How it works: The macro iterates through all tables in the active document and finds (and deletes) the empty rows by checking the total string length of each row. - An empty cell includes a cell maker with a length of 2 - In addition, each row includes an end of row marker with a length of 2 Therefore, the row is empty if the string length is equal to the number of cells in the row multiplied by 2 + 2. You will find another macro version at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/DeleteEmptyRows.htm NOTE that both macro versions will fail if the table contains vertically merged cells (requires some error handling).

May I add, I have a document that has nested tables that this macro missed. I
found that I have to iterate over oTable.Tables (which I created another sub to do that I called reiteratively). Just thought you would like to know.
