MS Office Forum / Word / Tables / October 2005splitting an entire row
my table has 4 rows and 6 columns. what's the quickest way of adding 10 more rows at the bottom of it? 1. Tab from the last cell of the last row to create a new empty row. 2. Select that empty row, right-click, and choose Insert Rows. Now you have two empty rows. 3. Select the two empty rows and press F4. Now you have four empty rows. 4. Select the four empty rows and press F4 twice. Now you have twelve empty rows. 5. Select the last two empty rows and press Delete Rows.  SignatureSuzanne S.

Point 1. below works. A new row is created. When I select that row and right-click, Insert Rows does not appear as a choice. When I select two rows and press F4, nothing happens. > 1.

What version of Word do you have? Every step from 3 on depends on inserting rows in step 2 (since F4 just repeats the previous action). If you don't have Insert Rows on the shortcut menu, then you'll have to use Table | Insert | Rows or whatever equivalent you find on the Table menu. SignatureSuzanne S.

What Suzanne told you should work (at least as far back as Word 97) but I would refine it slightly 1. Same 2. Same 3. Same (easy way to add the second row to the selection is to press shift and down arrow) 4. Just select 3 rows here (again shift and down arrow adds extra row to selection) 5. (not needed - you have ten rows) An alternative if your table is regular is to position the cursor immediately below the table and insert a 10 row by 6 column table which Word will join with your existing one - key strokes are Alt+a, i, t, 6, tab, 1, 0, enter. -- Enjoy, Tony > What version of Word do you have?
