Handle empty tables

In some cases (on a specific set of input parameters) some tables may contain no data. There are 3 possible approaches on how to handle this situation:

1. To do nothing. Generated CustomXML will have no child nodes for this specific table. And result report will contain an empty row in a word-table indicating to the end-user that there is no data. E.g.:

   #	First Name	Last Name	Hire date	Salary

2. To prepare several report templates. One template may contain a word-table, and another may not. Write Prerequisite Conditions to select the correct template for each case.
3. To use Word IF field. Insert the field by clicking CTRL + F9. In Boolean expression make reference to Content Control mapped to CustomXML Attribute. Content of the potentially empty table is embraced in double-quotes and included in IF field properties as TrueText or FalseText. Unfortunately, this method has a drawback; Word fields are not automatically updated on document opening. To see an updated document (with or without table):
   1. Either an end-user has to manually update all fields by clicking CTRL+A and then F9
   2. Or a developer has to include the following VBA macros into the document (ALT+F11) and save it in Word Macro-Enabled Document format:

      Sub AutoOpen()
          Dim xRange As Range
          Dim xFiled As Field
          For Each xRange In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
              For Each xFiled In xRange.Fields
                  xFiled.Update
              Next
          Next
      End Sub
