RE: Anatomy of Word: Create an employment application form using Word's table features
Your article was a good start but left out the MOST important and needed feature of a table in a form...........I and everyone else needs to know how to put a table in a form that will automatically add a row for more info when needed. In your example you gave 3 rows for the past employment info, what if the applicant had 4 past employers, how do I get to the last cell in the last row and have the form automatically create a 4th row for additional info? In the form I am creating a nurse will ask a patient a series of questions and will be filling out a form with the patients answers. One of the questions is "What medications are you currently taking?" The table would have a header row with the following labels, Medication, Reason for Medication, and the doctor who prescribed it. In the Word form I gave the user 3 rows to start with for the information. The table on this form needs to automatically offer me the opportunity to add a fourth row or more, as needed, when the last cell of the 3rd row has been filled so that the user can enter the 4, 5th, 6th ,ect med as needed.

In your first article on tables in word you said you can hit tab in last cell and a new row will be added, but I can not get that to work when using a table in a "Word Form". I can not believe that MS would leave out such a necessary and common sense function as that so please explain how to make that happen.

Thanks,
