Hi,

REF. MS WORD ver 2002 (10.6854.6856)SP3

I was filling in a form recently and completed four columns. Later, I
realised that I should have filled this section in using reverse
chronological order.

I tried to highlight individual sections (rows) in order to cut and
paste, but all I could do was highlight the whole table.

Can anyone tell me how to highlight rows.

Thanks

PS. I tried using SORT to date DESCEND the dates (which it did), but
I could not get the other columns to change.

Any advice on this matter also appreciated.

Hi species8350,

Assuming the document isn't protected for forms, you should be able to simply hold down the left mouse button and drag the cursor
from the first cell in the row to the end-of-row marker. You should then be able to release the mouse then hold down the left mouse
button and drag the row to the start of the row you want to insert it before.

Thanks for responding

When I try this the whole table is selected?

Best wishes.

Hi species8350,

Works fine for me with Word 2000 & 2007. I don't have a copy of Word 2002 to play with, but I'd be surprised if it's any different.
Does your table have any merged/split cells?

Hi,

No,

When I try to highlight a row, the whole table highlights. This table
is within a form that was created by a company.

Thanks
