How to reduce table?
I have a table with over 5000 rows. However, only about 2500 rows contain
info, the rest are empty rows (one row with info, next empty, etc). I deleted a few rows by clicking on them and holding Ctrl key. But is there a way to delete several hundreds of empty rows at once? If there is, may someone please tell me how to do it! -- Ilya Zeldes Fort Myers, Florida |

Select a column that has empty cells.

Gord,
you must be The Genius... Thanks, it worked like a charm... Ilya "Gord Dibben" <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote in message ... Select a column that has empty cells. F5SpecialBlanksOK.

Well, but I'm not out of the woods, yet...
I one column, along with the text in the cells there are small pictures in the corner of each cell. Each picture consist of an orange triangle and four circles around it. The size of this group is 0.07" x 0.16". I don't need this "picture". Neither Del or Clear option delete them. I removed several of them individually by moving them out of the cell and then Ctrl+Del (just Del would not delete). Again, how to "mass delete" these pics, but keep the text? Hope there is solution... Ilya "ilyaz" wrote in message ... Gord, you must be The Genius... Thanks, it worked like a charm... Ilya "Gord Dibben" <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote in message ...

Nice measurements - did you get a micrometer out for them ?
Puzzled, you only wanted to delete the blank rows So why do you want to delete these *pictures* on celles with text ?

If you want to delete pictures, go to edit--go to--special--select objects
and press delete. "SteveW" wrote: Nice measurements - did you get a micrometer out for them ?
