3 Ways to Add Rows in a Table in Word
- Using the Tab key
- Using the Insert Below or Insert Above buttons
- Using the Context Menu
Method 1: Adding Rows Using the Tab key
This is the easiest method to add rows to a table. On the downside, you can only add rows at the end of your table.
Step 1: Open your Word document.
Step 2: Click the last cell.
Once your document is ready, move your cursor to the bottom right cell of your table.
Then, press the Tab key on your keyboard.
This will create a blank row at the bottom of your table.
If you need to add more rows, you can simply press the Tab key repeatedly until you have the correct number of rows you need.
Method 2: Add Rows Using the Insert Below or Insert Above Options
This technique lets you add rows anywhere in your table.
Step 1: Open your Word document.
Step 2: Access the Insert Above and Insert Below options.
On your table, click the row where you want additional rows inserted. Go to the Table Tools category and click the Layout tab.
Then, under the Rows & Columns group, click either the Insert Above or Insert Below options to add a new row.
For this example, we’ll add a row above the fourth row.
This is what we got.
Method 3: Add Rows Using the Context Menu
Step 1: Open your MS Word document.
Step 2: Access the Context Menu.
Click the row where you want to add a new row. Right-click on it and click the Insert horizontal drop-down menu.
Then, select either Insert Rows Above or Insert Rows Below depending on your need.
For this example, we’ll add a row below the fourth row.
If you need to add more rows, simply press the F4 key on your keyboard. Note that this only works when the F4 key is pressed right after the addition of rows.
Deleting Rows in a Table in Word
To delete table rows, simply highlight the rows that you want to delete. Then, under the Table Tools category, select the Layout tab.
After that, click the Delete drop-down button and select Delete Rows.
