Disable automatically inserting rows in a table

Question

I inserted a table in a Word 2007 document and do not want any more rows added to the table. However, I've been unable to find where I can lock this in so that rows are not automatically inserted when navigating with the Tab key.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Word doesn't have that feature without programming as Yves has suggested. What is it you are trying to achieve: create a form?

The only way I can think of is by overwriting the NextCell sub in a macro and checking when you are in the last cell.

Something along the lines of :

====================

 Sub NextCell()

  ' Only move to the next cell if there is a next cell.

  If Selection.Information(wdEndOfRangeColumnNumber) < Selection.Information(wdMaximumNumberOfColumns) Or _

     Selection.Information(wdEndOfRangeRowNumber) < Selection.Information(wdMaximumNumberOfRows) Then

    Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell, Count:=1, Extend:=wdMove

  Else

    ' As you are in the last cell, you can do something else

    ' with the tab. For example, you could move back to the

    ' first cell or so.

  End If

End Sub
