in Microsoft Word 2010, say I have a template with a table, which contains some ready column headers, and the first row. this row is complex - basically it spans two real rows. it also has uneven column widths in the first and the second "real" rows. e.g. i am trying to populate this table with a dynamic number of rows, that i need to be like the first one. e.g. the methods that i've seen this far that add rows to a table all make the new row look like the last row (or the first - depending on the way you do it) - but i want the same functionality to be extended to two rows, i.e. so that the new TWO rows would look like the last TWO rows. the only way i found is to use clipboard. i want to avoid clipboard. maybe anyone can think of another way?
the clipboard code that works:
Sub example()
Set myrows = ActiveDocument.Range( _
ActiveDocument.Tables.Item(1).Rows.Item(1).Range.Start, _
ActiveDocument.Tables.Item(1).Rows.Item(2).Range.End _
)
myrows.Select
' this works
myrows.Copy
myrows.Paste
' this adds two rows that look like the last row in the selection
' this is not what i need
'Selection.InsertRowsBelow
End Sub
thanks
I'm sorry, it's an example of forgetting what you learned like 10 years ago. The particular question I asked seems to be easily answered.
Sub example()
Set myrows = ActiveDocument.Range( _
ActiveDocument.Tables.Item(1).Rows.Item(1).Range.Start, _
ActiveDocument.Tables.Item(1).Rows.Item(2).Range.End _
)
' this works
Set rowsbelow = ActiveDocument.Range(myrows.End, myrows.End)
rowsbelow.FormattedText = myrows.FormattedText
End Sub
if moderators deem it necessary, i may delete the post entirely
