Table Setup Question

S

Scott

Hello,

I'm creating a memo template and I need to create a table that has three
columns. I want column #1 to have two rows, I want column #2 to have just one
row since it's really for spacing/formatting, and then I want column #3 to
have four rows.

Each time I insert a row, I end up inserting a row to all three columns but
in this case, I only want to insert a row to column #3. How do I insert a row
to only one column?

I appreciate your help.

Assuming you're referring to Word...

You can do this either of two ways.

- You can add a new row, which adds to all the columns; then select the
column-one cell in the new row and the cell above it, and use Table > Merge
Cells. Then repeat the merge for the column-two cell in the new row and the cell
above it.

- You can forget about adding a new row; instead, click in the last (or first)
cell in the third column and click Table > Split Cell, and in the little dialog
choose 1 column and 2 rows.

Depending on which cells you merge or split, the border between the cells in the
first column may be too high or too low. Experiment until you see what the rules
are.
