Workflow remove an empty table frame (Word Merge Document)

asked on August 25, 2020

Hi, is there a way that workflow can delete an empty table if there is no information in it? We are already using the Remove unused fields, remove unused regions and remove unused paragraphs. Below is an example of how the table looks before we populate it with it's merge fields. I have a form i use to insert the variables from a table if it's got values then it fills, but if not it should delete the table.

 

When it is filled out

 

 

When there is no values in after it populated:

 

 

The last example where it is empty, i want Laserfiche workflow to delete this table. Is it something that can be done or perhaps a word setting?

From my experience, I would say your "remove..." options are working on the table itself, but the header is lingering. I ran into that a few years ago and if memory serves me, I had to turn the header row into a table merge as well.

Thanks Pieter, do you know if we can replace a Word Table Merge row with N/A if the table is empty when it retrieves the variables from forms?
