2002 Word Table Rows
I have recently been upgraded to Word 2002 and I am really dissappointed with
the new changes to Tables. Having to go up to the top and select Table then Insert then Rows Above or Below to insert ONE row. So if I require 5 rows I have to go up 5 times. With the old version at least you are able to right click and insert rows. I am really suprised that Microsoft has overlooked this flaw. I cannot see how this could be any sort of improvement, especially since I work with tables so often. Just a suggestion to ad back the insert rows on the right click option list. |

Right-click Insert Rows is still there.
If you select several rows before inserting, that number of rows will be added. You can also insert one row then press F4 repeatedly. "Sarah LeV" Sarah wrote in message ...

You can add the command to the menu yourself. First, notice that if you select one whole row, then right-click, the Insert Rows command is on the menu. However, there are a whole series of right-click menus associated with tables, and the ones for any selection other than one row don't have the command. To fix this, open the Tools Customize dialog. On the Toolbars tab, check the Shortcut Menus item. A small floating toolbar appears in the upper left; click the Table item to drop down a list of table-related menus. Click one of those menus to expand it. In the Customize dialog, click the Commands tab. In the Categories list, click Table. Click and drag the Rows item from the Commands list to the open menu, and drop it in the position you want. You can repeat this for each of the other table menus (Table Text already has the command). When you finish, close the Customize dialog. When you exit Word, if you're prompted to save Normal.dot, click Yes. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
