Inserting multiple rows in Excel may be one of the numerous tasks you come across daily. In today's article, I hope to inspire shortcut-oriented users by showing some really quick ways to add new rows in Excel.
You'll also see how to solve this task using standard menus and Ribbon buttons and how to add empty rows between multiple data lines. If you work in Excel actively, you know that most of the tables are constantly changing. Very often, they get modified when you add new details and as a result insert multiple empty rows for them. If you add rows below or above certain data in your spreadsheets every now and then, the standard Insert command looks like the most evident solution. However if pasting blank lines is your day-to-day or even hour-to-hour routine in Excel, insert-row shortcuts are by far more effective.
This article will be useful both for the shortcut people and for users who prefer standard Excel options located on the Ribbon and within different menu lists. You will find several solutions how to insert new rows in Excel with shortcuts and learn how to add blank rows between existing lines with data.

You can also select entire lines using the row number buttons. You'll see the number of the highlighted rows next to the last button. Go to the Home tab in Excel and click on the Insert icon. You will see your table in Excel with the rows inserted below the necessary line.
You can get the same result if you use the Insert menu option. Please see the steps below. Select the cells where the empty rows need to appear and press Shift + Space. When you pick the correct number of rows, right-click within the selection and choose the Insert option from the menu list. If your cells contain any formatting, use the Insert Options icon to match the format. Again, you'll see multiple rows inserted in your table in Excel.

For example, if you want to insert 100 empty rows, select a range with 10 rows, use the shortcut you like to insert the blanks and then just press F4 ten times. Special shortcut to insert rows in Excel if there's data to the right of your table Ctrl + Plus hotkey is fast and reliable, but if you have data to the right of your main table like on the screenshot below, it may insert blanks where you wouldn't like them to be and break the structure.

The second option will suite better if you have a big data table. Create a helper column. Enter 1 and 2 in the starting cells, grab the fill handle and drag it to the last data cell.
Now copy the series in the helper column and paste the range just below the last cell. Select the entire table, go to the Data tab in Excel and press the Sort button. On the window that will appear choose to sort by your Helper column (in my example its column D) - Values - Smallest to Largest. Click OK and see the results. Empty rows will appear between the lines with data. Now you can delete the helper column. You learned several shortcuts to insert multiple rows in Excel 2016, 2013, 2010 and other versions.

Word’s built-in Clip Art Gallery contains dozens of images that act as lines. Open up INSERT CLIP ART, and search for LINES. For more choices, when you have an Internet connection, INCLUDE OFFICE.COM CONTENT. (Note: these commands may be different depending on what version of Word you’re using). Insert any of the images. If it doesn’t extend across the page, use any of the RESIZE HANDLES to make it larger — but keep in mind that these are images, so if your line image is extended longer than its original dimension, it may become fuzzy. Use any of the features on the PICTURE TOOLS FORMAT Tab to change the color, shadow, style, and effects of the line image.

Click on BORDERS AND SHADING, the last option on the drop-down list, to refine the weight and color of this line.
When you press Enter at the end of the paragraph, this border may extend down to the next row, an effect you probably don’t want. To remove a bottom border, use the CLEAR FORMATTING button on the HOME ribbon, and the border returns to the desired text. Click on the INSERT RIBBON SHAPES button. On the drop-down gallery, the second section has a series of lines.
Some have arrowheads; others have bends and angles. Click where the line begins, and drag to where the line ends.
To keep the line straight, hold down the SHIFT key while dragging. Upon letting go, each line has a resize handle at the beginning and end to change the dimension. Lines that have curves and bends also have adjustment diamonds to refine the angles. Use the DRAWING TOOLS FORMAT ribbon to stylize the line’s color and special effects. To remove a Shape, click on it, then press DELETE on your keyboard.

Hello Alicia, Is it possible to add a fixed-size short line and include it into my style, without limiting the paragraph length. For example: This is a title with a small line under it (This is what I need) ———- This is a title with a page wide line under it (This is what normal border, frames, underlines allow) ——————————————————————————————————————————————— I could add this kind of line using shapes and using tables, however I would like to have it directly in my style formatting. Cheers, Elias.
