Does anyone know how to change the row/column size on a tablenote?

OK. I assume that when you say "tablenote" that you're talking about a 'Tabular Note', correct?

If so what you do is after you're placed the initial Tabular Note, similar to what you might do in Excel, is that you place your cursor directly over either a horizontal or vertical boundary of a 'cell' in the row or column which you wish to resize and if you pause of for a second or two the cursor will change to either a pair if opposing vertical or horizontal arrowheads (depending on which sides of the 'cell' you were attempting to move) and when you see this, just push MB1 and drag the size of the 'cell'. As you're dragging you will see a dynamic indication of the new size of the cell. Note that when you stop dragging the 'cell' boundary you may get a warning that your action will override or make invalid some of the auto-sizing options which may have been applied to the row or column of the Tabular Note. Just accept this warning and the settings will be overridden and you will get the new size.

Anyway, I hope that's clear.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
 
Sorry, I meant change the number of rows/columns. I should have said table size. :)
 
Again, the process is similar to Excel; highlight the row (or column), right click and choose insert. I think there will be an option to insert before or after the current selection. Repeat as necessary.
 
The initial size (number of Rows and Columns) can be set at...

Customer Defaults -> Drafting -> Annotation -> Sections

However, once created, your only option is as cowski described. That is, you have to select a row/column and then use either 'Cut' to remove unwanted ones or 'Insert' to add additional ones.
