Stefan:

I bought and read the Word section of 2007 Microsoft Office System
INSIDE/OUT and nowhere did I find any mention of the tools tab in layout.
Once I followed your instructions, found the tools tab, there was the layout
tab, and viola! There was the old tools menu for splitting cells and much
more.

Is this information listed elsewhere in the INSIDE/OUT book, or did the
writers skip over it assuming most would see the tools command in the layout
ribbon?

Anyway, I do thank you for the quick reply, and for enabling me to finally
find what I hate to admit has been a 10 hour hunting expedition to find the
solution. Even in the back of the INSIDE/OUT text, tables are mentioned in
detail for access, and excel, but not for Word.

Like many when I converted to Office 2007 along came Word 2007, but the
easy
ways to divide one or two cells in the row of an already existing table
disappeared, or at least I cannot determine how to do it now.

When using the tables command in Word 2007, after creating a simple 3
column
by 10 row table, how do I divide in half a single cell in a row? For
example, if in row 1 I want to divide equally the last cell in this row?
I
do not want any cells to shift or resize except for cell three in column
one,
and I want the untouched cell 1 and 2 to remain the same as they were
before
I divided cell 3.

I am trying to create a blank table so I can print information in each
cell
to watch RE sales, but don't want the same number of cell columns in each
row.

Thanks for the help; I wish the tables wizard hadn't gotten lost between
upgrades!!

Thanks for the help, Thomboy
