Merging and splitting tables

One table can be split into two tables, and two tables can be merged into a single

table. Tables are split only horizontally (the rows above the split point are put into

one table, and the rows below into another).

To split a table:

1) Place the cursor in a cell which will be in the top row of the second table after

the split (the table splits immediately above the cursor).

2) Right-click and choose Split Table in the pop-up menu. You can also use Table

> Split Table from the menu bar.

3) A Split Table dialog box pops up. You can select No heading or an alternative

formatting for the heading—the top row(s) of the new table.

4) Click OK. The table is then split into two tables separated by a blank

paragraph.

Note

If cells in one table include formulas using data from the other table,

those cells will contain an error message: **Expression is faulty**.

To merge two tables:

1) Delete the blank paragraph between the tables. You must use the Delete key

(not the Backspace key) to do this.

2) Select a cell in the second table.

3) Right-click and choose Merge Tables in the pop-up menu. You can also use

Table > Merge Table from the menu bar.

Tip

To see clearly where the paragraphs are and to delete them easily, choose

View > Nonprinting Characters (Ctrl+F10) or click the ¶ button in the

Standard toolbar.

Deleting a table

To delete a table:

1) Click anywhere in the table.

2) Choose Table > Delete > Table from the main menu.

Or:

1) Select from the end of the paragraph before the table to the start of the

paragraph after the table.

2) Press the Delete or the Backspace key.

Note

The second method also merges the paragraph after the table with the

paragraph before the table, which may not be what you want.

Copying a table

To copy a table from one part of the document and paste it into another part:

1) Click anywhere in the table.

2) From the main menu choose Table > Select > Table.

3) Press Control+C or click the Copy icon on the Standard toolbar.
