Insert Column when merged cells exist
I have a table with several merged cells. When I try to insert a new column
to the right of where merged cells exist in the table headers (the top 3 rows of the column, the first couple of rows end up in one place and the body of the column end up else where with the margins of the header rows all messed up. I tried inserting the column next to a column without merged cells and moving it over and the same thing happened. I tried splitting the cells to what I remembered to be the unmerged state and tried inserting but the same thing happened. I really don't want to unmerge all the cells to add another column. Any suggestions. Thanks Brian Kaplan |

Insert Column when merged cells exist
Hi ?B?QnJpYW4gS2FwbGFu?=,
I have a table with several merged cells. When I try to insert a new column to the right of where merged cells exist in the table headers (the top 3 rows of the column, the first couple of rows end up in one place and the body of the column end up else where with the margins of the header rows all messed up. I tried inserting the column next to a column without merged cells and moving it over and the same thing happened. I tried splitting the cells to what I remembered to be the unmerged state and tried inserting but the same thing happened. I really don't want to unmerge all the cells to add another column. Any suggestions. At this stage, all I can suggest would be to put the additional column(s) in a frame or text box next to the existing table. But you won't be able to TAB into them, or anything like that. It would purely be a visual thing.

Cindy, Thanks for your time reading the post and your suggestion. While not
perfect, it will certainly get me by in certain situations. "Brian Kaplan" wrote: I have a table with several merged cells.
