Table in Word XP

[Alain+Ivy]

Hi all
I am looking for some help to fix the following problem.
When I create a table in Word, it it possible to add a row by pressing the
Tab key when the cursor is in the last cell of the table. I wish to be able
to lock up the number of row so that it become impossible to add another
row. It would be pactical when many independant table are created in the
same document. (I do not want create a form; it is not always the right
solution. I never found a solution by using Word "normal" features.
Is there a way to do that by using some VBA code?
Thank you very much in advance for any advice, help or code.

There is no easy way to do this.

Why? there maybe an easier solution to your situation.

I am not sure my situation is the same, but I created a form where if you
tab out of the last cell it will automatically recreate the table. I
created an exit macro for the last cell which unlocked the form, copied the
table (I used an AutoText entry for this), then relocked the form. Since
you don't want this to happen, you could create another cell - or even a
macro button - that would do this.

In my specific case I am not in a form. It is a regular document with two
tables. The users need to write freely in the cells and the cells must be
expendable. The users do not want any "forced" formatting. It would nice
to be able to lock up the table(s) once created.

See your post in word.word97vba.
Please don't send the same message to several groups. Cross-posts (which are done by putting several newsgroups in the header of the same message) aren't as "bad", but usually not needed either because many of us read all the relevant groups anyway.
