Here are three ways: - Make two separate tables, one with three columns and one with two columns. Delete the paragraph mark that separates them, and they'll join to make one table. - Make a three-column table. Select two cells in the first row, right-click, and choose Merge Cells. Repeat in the second row. - Make a two-column table. Select a cell in the first row, right-click, and choose Split Cells; in the dialog, set 2 columns and 1 row in the boxes and click OK. Repeat in the second row. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

The second method will do the opposite of the desired, but the general idea
is good (just needs to be in the rows after the first two). In fact, the best bet there would be to make a three-column, three-row table. Merge two cells in the last row (to result in two columns) and any rows subsequently added will have two columns. -- Suzanne S.

Er, got my tongue wrapped around my eye teeth and I couldn't see what I was
saying. :-) On Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:18:19 -0500, "Suzanne S.
