HI CJ Im sorry if my question assumed the worst but I tend to think that everyone is as dumb as myself when it comes to waging syntactical war on badly behaved software. I did run a few test with Bob's .EntireRow but couldn't raise an error from it; what I did notice is that it Inserts a sheet row not a table row and although the effect on the table is the same it would disupt any stuff to the right of the the table. Bob I think there may well be a lot of sense in what you say about tables especially as they do not always behave as expected. How long would you estimate for MS to put them right?

<Shrug> How should I know? We're not even sure it's a problem, yet. At least I'm not; since I've never used tables there's a lot I don't know about them, so maybe this is just a wrinkle and tomorrow CJ will realize he wasn't holding his mouth right. And if it is a bug, Microsoft has to notice the problem first, which may mean someone will have to call it to their attention and I have no idea how to go about doing that. After that it may not take too long, maybe a few months and then the next release.

I'm all relaxed about this because I don't use tables anyhow :-). I'd probably share a lot of his frustration if it weren't for that.
