insert columns after a merged cell in a table
I'm working with an existing table, and my co-worker wants to add columns
when needed. This table is multi-paged, and every twenty rows or so she has merged the cells. Every time I try to add a column, it throws the merged rows and the whole table out of whack. How can I add a column that doesn't disrupt the merged cells? |

insert columns after a merged cell in a table
Hi Liz-
I'm sure there are other & perhaps better ways, but one option is to use the Draw Table Tool on the Tables & Borders Toolbar. If you're adding the new column to the right or left end of the table, just draw one tall column the full height, then right-click in the new column & use the Split Cells command to split it into as many rows as necessary.
