Question : Auto Add a new row in a form in Word

I have a word form that I want to lock. At the bottom of the form I have a time line table that needs to be filled out. What I want to happen is that when a user enters into the event portion of the table I want the table to auto add a row since the user won't be able to.

Answer : Auto Add a new row in a form in Word

This will add a new row with new formfields. It disconnects itself from the current cell and connects it to the new last cell.
