Up till now, if you were using a Table in your Word template and no records were pulled into it, it would still be displayed. So in fact the user would see a frame of an empty table that contains only the header text.
And this is not so nice...so we decided to add a new checkbox in the Table configuration window called “Hide empty table”. Once this option is turned on it makes sure that an empty table is not displayed at all.
Watch how to hide a table when it's empty in the Word add-in document
Enjoy!
