    Moving rows in a table (Word for Mac)

    Hello,

    I am using word to replicate complex vital records form for translation purpose.
    These vital records contain the same fields, but the order in which they are presented varies according to the county/state where they are issued, and the form version.
    Is there a way to move up/down entire rows easily?

    I have tried the alt-shift-arrowup/down trick, but it doesn't work in Mac.

    Example:
    Record #1
    row #1 - Name, date of birth, ***
    row #2 - Place of birth, time of birth, name of hospital or institution
    row #3 - parents name

    Record #2
    row #1 - Name, parents name
    row #2 - ***, Date of birth
    row #3 - Place of birth, time of birth, name of hospital or institution

    Re: Moving rows in a table (Word for Mac)

    I don't have a mac so can't check if this works, but from what I've read, when there's a shortcut which uses 'Alt' or 'Ctrl' in Windows, the equivalent is usually either 'Cmd' or 'Option' on a Mac. So maybe try 'Cmd-Shift-ArrowUp' or 'Option-Shift-ArrowUp' ?

    This page has a bit more on the Alt/Ctrl/Cmd/etc differences - scroll down to the 'Different Keystrokes' section: https://wordmvp.com/Mac/Differences.html

    Hope that helps.

    I recently started a new job so am a bit busy and may not reply quickly. Sorry - it's not personal - I will reply eventually.
    If your problem is solved, please go to 'Thread Tools' above your first post and 'Mark this Thread as Solved'.
    If you use commas as your decimal separator (1,23 instead of 1.23) then please replace commas with semi-colons in your formulae.
    You don't need to give me rep if I helped, but a thank-you is nice.

    For anyone searching for a definitive answer, you can move rows up/down on Word for Mac 2016 with Shift+control+up/down arrow.

    Such a convenient shortcut to have in your back pocket!
