1153757 2010-11-16 23:35:00 Have a table with 30 - 40 rows, decided to delete some of them. I can easily select/right-click and delete single rows, when I select multiple rows e.g 3, 5, 10, 15, word doesnt provide the option to delete them. The delete button fades out when multiple rows are selected. Any suggestion if this is possible?

Thanks

you can also choose one row then choose another row and hit the shift key with mouse click to select multiple. so you may have row 5 and rows 15-20.

yea.. i know how to select BUT the issue is once the rows that needs to be deleted are selected, the delete option fades out. I can select 5 rows in together and am able to delete those, but if the rows are random than I cant delete it. Create a table with 10 rows and trying delete just 3 randoms ones togethter. See if that works for you.

I know in excel you can select various rows like you mentioned 3, 5, 10, 15 and hit delete and they are gone.
