Inserting cells in a table
I have a table in Microsoft Word 2003 with 6 columns and 10 rows. I would
like to add another cell at the bottom of column 6 without insert a whole row. Is this possible? |

Inserting cells in a table
Probably, but do you really want a single cell sticking out of the bottom of
the table or do you (a) need to split the bottom cell in a given column or (b) have an entire row with borders applied only to a single cell? If this is for, say, a total cell, the usual way is to insert an entire row and use just the one cell (removing borders from the remainder if desired). -- Suzanne S.

Inserting cells in a table
I would normally use method (b), but I am trying to replicate what somebody
else has done and that seems to be a cell sticking out the bottom. "Suzanne S.

Inserting cells in a table
Okay, yes, it's possible, but the only way I can see to do it so the cell is
on the right is to draw it using the Draw Table (pencil) button on the Tables and Borders toolbar. If you wanted it on the left, you can select the cells to the right, right-click, and choose Delete Cells, but that doesn't work for one on the right. I would still tend to do this differently to avoid using the Draw Table feature, which I consider dangerous: the most screwed-up tables I've ever seen have been created that way! -- Suzanne S.

Inserting cells in a table
Just add a row and remove the borders from the cells that you do not wish to
appear as being part of the table. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Inserting cells in a table
That's what I suggested, but it was not the desired solution.
