Default printing empty text fields on word forms

I am setting up a word document and in sevaral places I need tables in case
information must be broken from costing etc. I don't want the field to print
if no data is in them. How would I set this up? FYI I am using the forms
toolbar, setting up a table and then entering text field in each cell so I
have the tab ability.

Hi ?B?bW9vbWJp?=,

I am setting up a word document and in sevaral places I need tables in case
information must be broken from costing etc. I don't want the field to print
if no data is in them. How would I set this up? FYI I am using the forms
toolbar, setting up a table and then entering text field in each cell so I
have the tab ability.

Do I understand correctly, that you're creating a table with a pre-determined
number of rows, and that you want to suppress any rows not being used? This
would require a macro in a protected document that would
- unprotect
- delete the rows
- reprotect

another route would be to let the user add rows as required. Basic approach
remains the same though, you need a macro.
