With the code in post #2, the table must be refreshed before you see it; there's no before/after. Do note that I modified the code slightly after posting.

As for the coding for a table with variable rows, surely you can know when creating it how many rows you'll need? If not, since your table will undoubtedly have at least two rows, I'd start off with that, then add rows as necessary.

As for saving the file and not seeing a correctly formatted table, that suggests a display driver or printer driver problem or a faulty Office installation.
