Merging and re-splitting cells
I and many of my fellow users are often bemused by the behaviour of
cells when, for example, a cell from resulting merged cells is later split again. In some cases the cell boundaries match the boundaries of un-merged cells in earlier rows or columns, and in some cases they don't. And how do I tell if a cell boundary very close to a boundary above or to its left is the same as its predecessor's boundary (and will move with it)? And is the behaviour for rows and columns the same (I don't think so). And why am I sometimes obliged to split a cell using a divisor ot the number of cells from which it was merged, and sometimes not? An short explanation (if it's possible!) of the structures underlying the organisation of a table would greatly help to explain and avoid difficulties in table layout. Can anyone help? |
