Delete the Column
"Merge cells" is the last thing you should do when setting up a table,
because when you try to reverse it (in order to do somethig to a column, for instance), the new cells almost never line up with the columns you have. You should put up with adding all the content of the merged cell to the leftmost cell in that group (ignoring the formatting), and it will come out right when you finally do the Merge. One possibility is to copy the table as it is now to a different document, and then use Undo to go back before the Merge cells, and make your changes, and then copy the data from the duplicate table into the properly formatted table. (The reason for putting it into a different document is that otherwise the first thing Undo would undo would be making the copy!)

Delete the Column
I have always resorted to the tedious task of "un"-merging the merged cells,
deleting the columns in question and, then, re-merging the desired cells. Not a fun task. Curious to see if anyone has a simpler method.

That's the way I do it, too, if I haven't followed Peter's advice to make
sure I have the table the way I want it before merging cells. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Nina" wrote in message ...

Well ... my advice was to go ahead and mess it up -- but make sure you
don't have to retype everything you typed after the initial merging. On Mar 19, 2:32*pm, "Suzanne S.
