I am able to create a new row when tabbing, but it doesn't insert the form field boxes.
If you're using formfields in a document protected for forms, you cannot create a new row by tabbing out of the last one.

There are, however, macro solutions that ask whether to add a new row when tabbing out of the last formfield on the last row. These will automatically add the new formfields as well. See, for example:
http://msgroups.net/microsoft.public...to-table/42026
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/o...2-ca4fd5b67465
Whether those solutions might work for you is unclear - your user profile (which you've set) suggests you're using Office 2007 on a Mac OS X system, whereas most Macs would use Office 2008 or 2011, but your post refers to Office 2010. Office 2008 has no macro support. Both Office 2007 & 2010 are Windows applications.
