Add x number of rows to a table

I have an existing table with a small number of rows, and need to add a large number of new rows.  If I right click and select insert rows, it adds only 1 row at a time (or however many existing rows I highlight).  How can I tell it I want to add a certain (large) number of rows all at once (ideally by typing in the number at some point)?  Note, I need to add more rows than I already have, so I can't just highlight more rows before right-clicking.  I seem to remember being able to do this in earlier versions of word, but maybe I am misremembering

Since there is a dialog for it there may be and probably definately once was:

 

However, I can't find anything in the UI that calls the dialog other than using a macro which is faster than the previous one I posted.


Sub ScratchMacro()
If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) Then
Application.Dialogs(wdDialogTableInsertRow).Show
End If
End Sub
