You can join and split cells in the tables of your Web pages.

Create a table.

• To split a single cell into multiple cells:

  1. Move the cursor into the cell you want to split.

  2. To split the cell into rows, select

     Table | Split Cell | Split Cell into Rows. To split the cell into columns, select

     Table | Split Cell | Split Cell into Columns.

  3. To split a single cell into three or more cells at a time, select

     Table | Specify and Split, and then specify the number and the direction of the split.

• To join table cells:

  1. Select the cell range (either vertical or horizontal) that you would like to join.

  2. Select

     Table | Join Selected Cells.

     You can also join cells by selected a single cell and using one of the options in the

     Table | Join Cell menu.

• To return joined cells to their original state:

  Note: When you resplit the cells, the contents of the cells will not return to their original cell location.

  1. Select the joined cells.

  2. Select either

     Table | Split Cell | Split Cell into Rows or

     Table | Split Cell | Split Cell into Columns, depending on how the cells were originally joined.

  3. For more complex cell splitting, you can select

     Table | Specify and Split and define the cell splitting more precisely.
