Do you mean rows? If you want to add 2 rows, hightlight two rows; if you want
to add 5 rows, hightlight 5 rows, etc before going to the Table menu and
Insert Rows above or below the highlighted section. Does this help?

I usually add one and then use CTRL+Y to repeat the command. I find that a
fast way to do it but I'm comfortable with using the keyboard.

I select one, right-click and choose Insert Rows, then select the resulting
two and F4, select the resulting four and F4, etc., until I get the needed
number.

I think that's one reason I like Office products. There are often multiple
ways to do the same thing and you can decide which way works better for you.

Thanks everyone I think it was offfice 98 or maybe an earlier version you
could stipulate how many rows you wanted to add.

Selecting a row here to add a row there gets to be tedious when you want to
add 143 rows and don't want to have to keep count. As most of the docs i
create also have large tables, I have found that lining up the cursor on the
line directly below the last row of the table and then doing a "Table",
"Insert","Table" allows me to enter the exact number of rows (and columns) I
need....without having to keep count.
