Differentiate between splitting and merging cells? Explain
Answers
Answer:
Splitting cells is similar to adding a row or column, but it all takes place in one cell instead of a group of cells. Merging cells, however, is similar to deleting a cell and then adjoining it with a neighboring cell.
Merge cells is a feature in Microsoft Word that allows you to join many cells in a table into one cell. Say you have five rows in a table which you find not useful and you would like to convert them into a single cell which you want to use, you will simply merge the five rows into one.
You can find the merge cell in MS Word 2007 by highlighting the cells, then right click on them and choose merge cells as shown in the diagram below:
Split cells on the other hand is a feature that will allow you to divide a single column or row into more rows especially if you would like to fix some data in between the existing rows or columns. Just like the merge cells feature, to split a row or column into many more, right click on the row or column where you want to place the additional cells, and then choose split cells
