Merging Cells in Word 2010
In this chapter, we will discuss how to merge table cells in Word 2010. Microsoft Word allows the merging of two or more cells to create one large cell. You will frequently need to merge columns of the top row to create the title of the table. You can merge cells either row-wise or column-wise, rather you cannot merge cells diagonally. This chapter will teach you how to merge multiple rows or columns.
Merging Cells
The following steps will help you merge table cells in a Word document.
Step 1 − Bring your mouse pointer position inside the first cell that you want to merge. Now press the Shift key and cpck the cells around the cell which you want to merge into the first cell. This will highpght the cells which you cpck and they will be ready to be merged.
Step 2 − Now cpck the Layout tab and then cpck the Merge Cells button which will merge all the selected cells.
After merging the cells, all the content of the cells will be scrambled which you can fix later as you pke. For example, you can convert the merged cells text into title or some other description. For example, let us have center-apgned and bigger font text as follows on top of the table.
