    Simplify inserting rows into a table.

    I would like to simplify the process of inserting rows into the attached table.
    Currently I have to un-merge the cells and fill in the borders etc which is very time consuming.DOCUMENT REGISTER.xlsx
    Is there an easier way?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Re: Simplify inserting rows into a table.

    1) It you want to easily insert row in existing "triplet of rows" select middle row of the triplet, insert 1 row and then
    -- copy/paste special values only from 2 bottom into 2nd and 3rd
    -- select 4th row (now duplicate with 3rd) and Delete (contents) - all line types and merging is retained, and you have emtry row 4 for writing additional info.

    2) If you want to add a new "triplet", select 3 rows staring from the row where it shall start. Then right-click on rows numbers and from pop-up Insert. Finally copy empty triplet at bottom of your sheet into 3 newly inserted lines - it will retain formatting (merging, borders etc.).
    Best Regards,

    Kaper
