Merging Table Cells

[Colin]

Hi

A really basic question - how do you merge table cells? I have tried using the 'merge cells' from the top menu and by right clicking on table and selecting the option, but I cannot seem to get it to work.

Can put me straight on this?

First things first. What are you looking at? Template for invoice/desptach note or something else?

I've created a blank page, with a table in the page manager. I've created a table with 2 columns and 5 rows. In the middle rows of these I want to insert an image, so I need to merge two of the cells. I've tried inserting a single row and columnn between 2 two cells tables, but it creates too much white space and makes the page look stretched and disjointed. So, the best option (seems to be) is to merge two of the cells.

Hope that makes sense.

Okay, so with a table of 2 columns and 5 rows:

Click inside one of the two middle cells, and click Merge Table Cells. A little window pops up. Set Columns to 2 and keep Rows set to 1. So you're merging 2 columns on 1 row.
