Default Selecting a column: some rows have 2 cells in 1 column?

Yes, there is a merged cell. I pasted a row from the word table into excel to
see just what I had. One cell has 3 merged rows. The single cell had
contained 3 lines of text using a return at the end of the first two lines.
This text with returns became 3 table rows merged into one table cell. There
is no way to fix this without a rewrite. I guess if you use a return in a
Word table it will sooner or later blow-up in your face.

DonD nous racontait que :

I have a rows in my table that seem to be totally normal until I
select a table column. Then I get 2 side-by-side cells selected with
the otherwise single table column. Are these 2 cells linked? I don't
know why it's doing this. I can no longer copy and paste a single
column. I tried cutting and
pasteing into a new row, but it still does it. It there anyway to fix
this other than rewriting.


This usually means that there are merged cells somewhere in those two
adjacent columns.
