Merge or Split Cells

To create more complex tables, use the Merge and Split features.

  • With Merge, you can convert two or more adjacent cells into a single cell that spans multiple rows or columns. For example, you could merge a cell with the cell directly above it in a column. This results in a single cell that spans two rows.

  • With Split, you can turn a single merged cell back into separate cells. Using the same example, you could select the merged cell in Column C and then split it. Paligo will divide the merged cell back into two cells.

A table with 3 columns and 2 rows. Column A has 2 cells, one for each row. Column B has 2 cells, one for each row. Column C has 1 cell that covers both rows.
