Hi Paul,

The only way to do this is by splitting the merged cells.

A workaround might be to split the table (Table|Split Table from the menu)
and work with the heading rows and body rows independently of each other.

Cheers

I often recieve MSWord tables from other people which I need to re-format
and
add columns etc. Often they have merged cells in the title cells which
interfere with the columns and I cannot 'de-merge' to get back to a
regular
grid of cells with simple columns and rows.

Is there a simple way of de-merging cells in a table?
