Splitting and joining tables
To split a table into two tables
- Place the insertion point in the row below which you want to split the table.
- On the Layout menu, go to Merge, and then click Split Table.
Do not split a table at a row that contains part of a cell that spans two or more rows, as the results are unpredictable.
To join two adjacent tables
- Place the insertion point in the first table.
- On the Layout menu, go to Merge, and then click Merge Tables.
The tables to be joined must have the same number of columns, and there must be no other content between them (including empty paragraphs). If the column widths of the two tables are different, the column widths of the first table will be applied to the joined table.
