Stop Word from creating a new row when I press enter when in a table

I am writing a document (in Microsoft word 2013) with a lot of tables in it. I need each table to have only one row. Consider the diagrams below.

If I press enter when the cursor is in position A then I get situation B. If the cursor is in position C and I press enter I get position D. In both cases is there a way so that when I press enter I will always get position E?


Solution 1:

While the cursor is in the table, Word is in table edit mode. As far as I know, there is no way to turn this off. The cursor must leave the table for Word to exit that mode.

Unfortunately, Word has limitations. You can only get a blank line between tables from position "C" while pressing Shift + Enter, or from position "E".

Another option might be to record a macro and assign a shortcut key.
