Merging and Splitting Cells

Using the Toolbar buttons you can merge and split cells in a table. This can be useful if you want to reorganize the data or create more complex table structures.

Merging Cells

1. Open the table for editing, Put the cursor in one of the cells that you want to merge. This will be cell number one in relation to the cells that will be merged.
2. Select Merge table cells in the toolbar.
   
   
3. In the Cols field, enter the number of cells you want to merge, for instance 2 if you want to merge two cells. You can merge any number of cells as long as the cells are next to each other in the table. The merge will occur to the right of the selected first cell.
4. In the Rows field, enter the number of rows where you want to merge the cells. For instance, enter 4 if you want to merge two cells on the nearest four rows. The merge will occur downwards counting from the first selected cell.
5. Click Update for the merge to take place.

Splitting Cells

1. Open the table for editing, Put the cursor in the cell you want to split. Note that you can only split cells that have previously been merged
2. Select Split merged table cells in the toolbar.
