adding rows to tables
Hi all: I've checked my books and help and haven't been able to find this answer. FM 8.0, Windows XP (which, on my laptop, totally melted down to the BSOD -- any connection between the BSOD and Microsoft ending their support of XP? Conspiracy theorists, jump in here, please). Anyway, back to my original question: Let's say I have a table that is four rows long, and I want to paste in 50 rows. I've tried paste but it only takes the first four entries. I know I can go to TableAdd Rows and Columns to add the rows, but what if I don't know how many rows I need to add? Is there any way to just paste my data so the rows automatically generate? Thanks!

I'm guessing you're trying to paste in text, because if you were pasting table rows, it would work. The Paste Rows dialog would appear and give you 3 options: Insert Above Current Rows, Insert Below Current Rows, or Replace Current Rows. If you select the 3rd option, the number of rows selected must match the number being pasted, but for the other two options you can paste whatever number of rows is on the clipboard. If the 50 new rows you want to paste into the table are in text form, convert them to a temporary table (with the correct number of columns), then select and copy the rows, and paste them into the target table. Then you can delete the temporary table. HTH! Richard Richard G.

Re: adding rows to tables
Yeah, I am trying to add text only. I have information in one table (six or so pages long) and I'm adding it to a new table of shorter length. The columns are different, so I can't paste actual rows or columns. I don't know how many actual rows of text I'm copying, so I've just added 500 rows and delete the extra rows when I finished. I'm afraid I'll guess short and some of the info won't copy.

The columns are different, so I can't paste actual rows or columns. Sure you can. Make a copy of your source table (maybe in a new temp document). Add or subtract the appropriate columns so that it matches the destination table. Select and copy all the rows. Put your cursor in the destination table row above or below which you want to add the new data and paste, selecting the appropriate option in the Paste Rows dialog. Richard Richard G.
