Merge Split Cells in MS Word

Merge cells and split cells are two functions in Microsoft Word that allow you to combine or split cells. In this video tutorial, we will learn both of these functions. We will discuss: 1) Merge Cells in Word, 2) Split Cells in Word and its various uses.

Merge Cells in Word

Word Merge Cells are a feature of Microsoft Word that allows you to merge cells in a document. This is helpful when you want to merge two cells in your document and have them be the same size.

Merge Cells in MS Word can be used for many different purposes. For example, some people use it to combine two or more similar cells into one cell, while others use it to combine columns that are not next to each other.

The feature is helpful when you want to create a formula or just need to make your document look neat and tidy. A few uses of merge cells in Word are:

- Combine two rows into one row

- Combine two columns into one column

- Combine multiple pages of a document into one page

- Combine multiple sections of a document into one section

They help us create and format text in various interesting ways. Here are a few examples:

1. Merge cells can be used to create lists: - A list with merge cells is easier to read and more visually appealing than a list with regular bullet points, as it creates an indented effect which makes a list look like a paragraph. 

2. Merge cells can be used to format tables: - While we have many different formatting options for tables in Word, merge cells are the best option for creating tables that are easy to read, maintain their appearance and are visually appealing. 

3. Merge cells can be used as headers or footers: - A header or footer is placed at the top or bottom of a document, and the text in it is the document's title. With merge cells, you can change their appearance to be a header or footer.

4. Merge cells can be used for styles:- A style is a way in which you can format text consistently throughout your document and make it easier to read. Merge cells help you to style your document better.

There are two ways to merge cells in Word. The first is to use the Quick Menu Option, and the second is to use the Ribbon Option.

2. Ribbon Option

Let's learn how to split a cell in Word now.

Split Cells in Word

Split Cell is a feature in Microsoft Word. It allows users to split cells into two columns and insert content from the left or right column into the centre of the text. Split cells can be used for various purposes, such as creating a table of contents or dividing a document into sections.

The split cells feature in Microsoft Word is a great way to add more content to a given section of an already existing document. This feature helps you add more information and make the document more comprehensive.

Split cells allow you to create a table in one cell and then split it into two or more cells. The benefits of this feature are listed below:

- You can easily add rows and columns to your table without manually inserting them.

- You can easily split a cell into two or more cells, making it easier to create a table with multiple rows and columns.

- If you need to add data in the middle of your table, it’s easy because the new row will automatically be inserted at the bottom of the previous row.
