I have a table in indesign. I want to add a row. When I add a new row, it isn't visible? When I go to table  format it's showing the extra row in terms of how many rows are in the table, but it isn't visible on the screen

Is it possible that the text box that holds the table is exactly the same size as the table? Could the act of inserting a new row be pushing the bottom row of the table out of the text box and thus disappearing from view? If so, simply enlarge the text box.

Just to help anyone else with this issue, the row will duplicate at the same size as the row you're in, so if it's a tall row it will duplicate and disappear outside of the text box. I found it best to reduce the row size to duplicate then resize.
