Merging Table Cells

Sometimes when you create a table you may want to merge cells together. A good example of when you might want to do this is when you want to add a title on the top row of your table. Follow the directions below to merge cells in a table. Shown below is a sample table with the top row having merged cells.

  1. First, insert the 3 by 3 (3x3) table into your page.

  2. Select the upper row - you want to merge those 3 cells from  your table to put the title.  

  3. Click on the merge cell button from the tables toolbar as shown below.
     

  4. Your cells will be merged.
