How do I split a table into two in MS word?
Say if I have a table composed of 30 cells (5 columns and 6 rows). How do I split it into two separate tables each of which has 5columns and 3 rows? Thx! Last edited by Charles Kenyon; 02-21-2014 at 07:53 AM. Reason: Mark as solved |

Via Table>Split Table! Simply put the insertion point anywhere in the row before which you want the table to split.

Thx! Just forgot to ask how to combine them back into one when needed?

Select the cell that you want to combine and drag it across the other cell. Now go on Table tab and click on Merge Cells.

Unless you change either table's: column widths; indentation; or wrap format, that requires nothing more than deleting the paragraph break between them.

That is not applicable to combining two tables...

actually I have office 2007. I thought I had looked in LAYOUT but if so I missed it. SPLIT TABLE option is right there. funny no mention of this in online help when i searched for "split table."

I usually split a table by putting my cursor somewhere in the row and pressing Ctrl-Enter, Backspace.
The Ctrl-Enter puts in a hard page break (and paragraph mark) above that row which forces a table split at that point. The Backspace then removes the hard page break but the paragraph mark remains so the table remains split.
