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.
  2. Note: You must select at least two cells.

  3. Select Table > Merge Cells or right-click, then select Merge Cells.
  4. Contribute merges the content into a single cell.

To split table cells:

  1. In your draft, place the insertion point in the cell you want to split.
  2. Note: Contribute only splits one cell at a time, even if you select multiple cells.

  3. Select Table > Split Cell or right-click, then select Split Cell.
  4. The Split Cell dialog box appears.
