merge cells in a table tealady 01.08.2006 20:40:02 How can I merge cells in the last column of a table? Since they are not at the top of the table I cannot select the cells from the top. And no matter what I try, the return marker outside the first cell always gets highlighted in the selection and won't give me the merge option. What am I doing incorrectly???

Re: merge cells in a table "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 01.08.2006 21:20:58 I don't have any problem selecting cells in the last column without including the EOR markers. Do you have any horizontally merged cells in these rows? -- Suzanne S.

Re: merge cells in a table "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 01.08.2006 22:15:22 I'm thinking that might be at least part of the problem. If you use something like the TableCellHelper macro available at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/SumAboveIncorrect.htm or the macro Greg Maxey provides at http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Table_Cell_Data.htm, you'll probably see that the cells you're trying to merge aren't actually in the same column. I'm not sure what the workaround for this might be, but it might involve some splitting and remerging, or it may be that what you're trying to do isn't possible. -- Suzanne S.
