The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Word Macro that deletes rows...

Asked by MitchellVII in Microsoft Word, Visual Basic Programming

Hi,

I have a Word Macro that goes through a document table and deletes rows based upon certain criteria. My problem is that some of my rows begin with merged cells. This seems to throw an error since the code can't identify exactly what size the row is.

So, two questions:

1. Can I write the code to just ignore merged cells and only evaluate rows beggining with non-merged cells?
2. All of my merged cell rows are at the top of the document. Can I get the code to start at a certain place ad then run through the rows? For instance, If I wanted to start the loop at the row containing the words, "Working History", how would I change the code below to do that?

Thanks!
