Does Word show you how many rows are in your table?
I'm working with tables that I did not create myself and they are very large.
All I want to know is what row/column I'm in at any given time and how many total rows are in the table without having to manually count them. WordPerfect would always show you exactly what Row/Column you were in in the status bar. Does WORD have this feature anywhere? |

This feature has been requested repeatedly, and the latest word is that Word
developers can't figure out a way to do this dynamically without severely impacting performance because of the complexity of merged cells, nested tables, etc. (Of course at one time they said the same thing about a dynamic word count.) As a next-best solution, you can download the TableCellHelper macro from http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...eIncorrect.htm and add it to your toolbar. When you click on the button to run the macro, Word returns the current cell address and the total number of rows and columns in the table. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you so much for answering my question! That was driving me crazy!
I still think WP is a far superior word processing program, but alas, the work environment has gone totally Microsoft... I notice that your Macro is for WORD 2000. I'm using the Word 2003 version. Will the macro work with 2003 version? "Suzanne S.

The article is just old; actually I think the original macro was for Word
97, but I'm still using it in Word 2003. -- Suzanne S.
