How ould I remove all empty rows within a table without having to select each
one?

Sort the table. Then all the empty rows will fall together and you can
delete them all at once.

Yes that would work.

You could stick your cursor in the table and run this macro:
Sub ScratchMacro()

Dim oTbl As Table
Dim oRow As Row
Dim oCell As Cell
Dim bNotEmpty As Boolean

Set oTbl = Selection.Tables(1)
bNotEmpty = False
For Each oRow In oTbl.Rows
For Each oCell In oRow.Cells
If Len(oCell.Range.Text) 2 Then
bNotEmpty = True
Exit For
End If
Next
If bNotEmpty = False Then oRow.Delete
bNotEmpty = False
Next

End Sub

That's more elegant in that it doesn't muck up the order of rows. Are you
aware that it will fail if the table has vertically merged cells? (Which is,
to be sure, an unlikely circumstance in this case.)

Jezebel,

No I wasn't aware at the time. I only tested with a very simple table. It
seems that one should be able to select rows above and below merged vertical
cells and run a similiar routine but how doesn't seem to be readily
apparent. Hmmm.

If there are vertically merged cells, the Rows property is not valid; and
similarly, if horizontally merged then the Columns is invalid. You can test
the table's Uniform property if you need to check, or just trap the error.

This is one instance (the only one that I know of, in fact) where the
Selection object provides a function not available wsith Range objects. Even
when there are merged cells, you can still select columns and rows using the
mouse ...
