When i'm writing stuff into tables in word, i find it annoying when i have to
choose to add a new row, or a column to my existing table. I believe that a
feature such as that used in Access should be implmented when adding a new
record to a table in Access. This would mean that the user can have a set
table size, and then have rows and columns appear when (s)he needs them.

Actually a table in Word behaves exactly the same as one in Access. When
you press the tab key in the last cell in the last row in the document, a
new row is added automatically.

Neither program automatically adds columns.

I think that JP meant "When adding, let's say, 50 lines of text to a word table from somewhere else", it doesn't auto add the required rows for the text that is being pasted into the table.
First you have to figure out how many lines of text you have copied from elsewhere, then you have to add the lines required for it to fit. "THAT" is really annoying! And time-consuming too!
