# Inserting Rows into a Table

 * I have a table in which I need to add a considerable number of rows in the middle
   of it.
 * I clicked on where I wanted the rows to be inserted and then ‘Add 20 row(s)’ 
   and clicked the ADD button.
 * Unfortunately, those 20 rows were added to the bottom of the table not where 
   I had marked I wanted them inserted.
 * It works perfectly inserting a single row.
 * What am I doing wrong?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Finserting-rows-into-a-table%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Another way round it would be to select a row and then repeatedly click INSERT
   but you can’t do that because every time you click INSERT, your selection is 
   cleared. L-(

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * You have indeed found the right approach already, and can now use a small extra
   feature: If you click that “Insert” button while holding down the “Shift” key
   on the keyboard, the checkbox on the left of the row will remain checked, so 
   that you can immediately click the “Insert” button again and again. This way,
   you can insert multiple rows in the middle of the table as well.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
