Hide table rows
Can I hide table rows in a source document? I have a table with 200 rows and only work with 25 of the rows in 6 months. Thanks.

You can format the font of the rows you want to hide as hidden, then click on the ¶ symbol on the Document tab to hide the document's formatting marks.

Thanks. It works exactly as you described and I did not know that I could do that. However, what I want is for the rows to be hidden (like in Excel), so I don't have to scroll through 200 rows to get to where I want to edit. I guess if I have to, I can copy the whole table into Excel and use it there.

Word tables don't offer the same functionality as an Excel workbook, but formatting the entire row as hidden does hide the entire row. As for going to a particular row, pressing Shift-F5 when you open a document (or after making an edit) should return you to the location of the last edit.

I formatted the entire row as hidden and it removed (or hid) the contents of the cells but left the rows. I am using Word 2016 for mac. Maybe that's why. Word does act differently on a mac. Thanks for the tip about going to the last changed row. I didn't know that either and it will solve my problem.

Did you include the row's 'end-of-row' marker?

I don't know what that means. Also, I tried the shift F5 trick and it didn't work. Again it's probably the mac thing.

With Word's formatting display on, you'll see a '¤' symbol in each cell and at the end of each row. That is the table's end-of-cell marker & end-of-row marker. You need to ensure the one at the end of each row is also formatted appropriately.

I selected everything in both columns in the first 3 rows of my test table, including all markers. I formatted them as hidden and turned off the paragraph markers. The contents disappear but not the rows.

OK... it works now. I missed the end of row markers.
Thanks for your patience and help. |
