I just installed Office 2003. I was hoping that by now Word would let you
quickly move rows up or down in a table. I think I saw that in Framemaker.
Does anyone know if you can do that? I found nothing about it in Help. Thanks!

G'Day VanStaats,

If you place the cursor to the left of a row, and click to
select that row, you may then Click and Drag the Selection.

Drag the selection up/down. When you 'drop' it, it will be
moved ABOVE the row where it was dropped. To move
rows to the bottom of the Table, 'drop' them just below
(outside) the table.

You may select and move multiple rows, but they must be
contiguous.

Take CARE that, while you Drag and Drop, you
keep the Cursor within Column One (The Left Hand
Column). If you use any other column the results are
unpredictable.

You can do something similar with columns, keeping
the cursor within Row One (Top Row).

You can also use "OutlineMoveDown" and "OutlineMoveUp" (Alt+Shift+DownArrow and
Alt+Shift+UpArrow).
You don't need to select the table row (or paragraph) first, but you can use the
commands with several rows selected, too.
