Yes. You have to write the macro.
For starters, you could try manually unprotecting the document and recording
the macro that adds your table row. I keep the fields to go in the table row
in AutoText rather than trying to code them. Then I just have the code
insert the AutoText.
Here is some old code that I use for this. It isn't very well documented;
there is surely a better way; but it does work, for me.
What follows is my code. It is a mish-mash, I'm afraid, but it may help you
get started. We prefer if there are no expenses or payments, to hide those
tables altogether. The various procedures are called using keyboard
shortcuts. Those shortcuts are shown in a floating borderless textbox and
set to be hidden text (which is displayed but doesn't print). The form
starts with one data entry row in each table. The procedures check the
balance for a table and if it is 0, they go to the already inserted data
entry position. If it is not 0, it is assumed that the table has already
been used. Then it inserts a row, populates it with blank fields and moves
to the first inserted field.
This may be too much of kludge for you. I'm sure there are more effecient
ways of doing this. I suspect that I use AutoText to populate the rows
because I never took the time to learn how to write formfields using code.
On the other hand, if one wants to make changes, AutoText is easier to
change (for me) than is code.

You'll notice that I commented out much of the conditionally compiled code.
I think I discovered it wasn't needed, but it has been a long time since I
did this. It could be that we just no longer have any Word97 machines
around. I'm not sure why it messes with the AutoCorrect settings. I've used
it without problems for a couple of years now.
The fields inserted using AutoText would have to be individually named as
they are inserted. It may be just as easy to create them using code.
I hope this gives you a leg up, anyway.
