Default Splitting Tables

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your response and it solved my issue.

No, there is no "split table vertically" command in Word. But you can
use cut and paste to create a separate table out of selected columns
(or selected cells). Then paste at the location where you want the
table. Note that there must be at least two paragraph marks (ΒΆ)
between the location where you are pasting and the original table;
otherwise, the two tables will merge horizontally as you paste.

If you want the new table beside the old one, do the following to wrap
it: Choose Table | Table Properties. Click the Table tab, and choose
"Around" at "Text wrapping." Use the Options dialog box (click the
Options button) to position the table or drag it with the mouse.

Alternatively, you can create the illusion of a "vertically split"
table: Just insert a new column at the "break point" and remove the
horizontal borders of that column.

Thank you for reading this post.

I know it is possible to split a table horizontally. Is there a way

a table
could be split vertically?
