Split and merge cells
Use
the Property inspector or the commands in the Modify >
Table submenu to split or merge cells.
As an alternative approach
to merging and splitting cells, Dreamweaver also provides
tools for increasing and decreasing the number of rows or columns spanned
by a cell.
Merge two or more cells in a table- Select the cells in a contiguous line
and in the shape of a rectangle.
In the following illustration, the selection is a rectangle
of cells, so the cells can be merged.
In
the following illustration, the selection is not a rectangle, so
the cells can’t be merged.
- Do one of the following:
Select Modify > Table >
Merge Cells.
In the expanded Property inspector (Window >
Properties), click Merge Cells .
Note: If
you don’t see the button, click the arrow in the lower-right corner
of the Property inspector so that you see all the options.
The
contents of the individual cells are placed in the resulting merged
cell. The properties of the first cell selected are applied to the
merged cell.
Split a cell- Click in the cell and do one of the
following:
Select Modify > Table >
Split Cell.
In the expanded Property inspector (Window >
Properties), click Split Cell .
Note: If
you don’t see the button, click the arrow in the lower-right corner
of the Property inspector so that you see all the options.
- In the Split Cell dialog box, specify how to split the
cell:
- Split Cell Into
- Specifies whether to split the cell into rows or columns.
- Number Of Rows/Number Of Columns
- Specifies how many rows or columns to split the cell
into.
Increase or decrease the number of rows or columns spanned by a cell Do one of the following:Select Modify > Table >
Increase Row Span, or Modify > Table > Increase Column
Span.
Select Modify > Table >
Decrease Row Span, or Modify > Table > Decrease Column
Span.
