Merging and splitting cells
You can merge any number of adjacent cells—as long as the entire selection is a line or a rectangle
of cells—to produce a single cell that spans several columns or rows. You can split a cell into any
number of rows or columns, regardless of whether it was previously merged.
To merge table cells:
1. In your draft, select the cells you want to merge.
Note: You must select at least two cells.
2. Do one of the following:
■ Select Table > Merge Cells.
■ Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), and then select Merge Cells.
Contribute merges the content into a single cell.
