Merging cells

Document print forms often require spreading text across multiple cells (both horizontally and vertically). You can use the merge feature for this. When multiple cells are merged into a single one, its text is aligned with the borders of the merged cell.

To merge cells, on the main menu, point to Table, point to Cells, and click Merge.

Note. To merge cells, you can also use Ctrl + M or a context menu command.

All the text in the merged cells is lost except for the text in the top left cell, which becomes the text of the merged cell.

To split a merged cell, select it and then, on the main menu, point to Table, point to Cells, and click Merge.

If a merged cell contains text, the text goes to the top left cell upon merging, regardless of the alignment (for example, if it is aligned with the bottom right corner, this does not affect the result).
