Splitting a Section of a Table
I am creating a project log using a table. For each issue that is being
logged in some instances there are multiple discrete activities that need to be recolved. I am trying to split each action item into a separate sub row of the table Without splitting the entire section. For example the table is headings a #/Item/Details/Action Required/Owner/Due Date/Status. I want to be able to have the first three colums apply to the entire section of the table however the latter four will apply to the Action Required section. I tried to draw a line (using table tool bar) to split the row however it wants to split the entire row of the table. Any suggestions. |

Splitting a Section of a Table
Select the specific cell instead, right-click, choose Split Cell, and select
the number of rows. -- Suzanne S.

Splitting a Section of a Table
Thanks Suzanne. I believe this solution will work at the beginning of table
creation. I have already started to write in the log. Is there a way to do the same thing with text already present? "Suzanne S.

You can still split the cells, but you'll have to drag the text into the new
cells manually. -- Suzanne S.
