Dividing one column into two in a six-column table
I’m working with a six-column table in Word 2003. The first column has
surnames. The second column has first names for both men and women. For women, the second column also has their maiden names between the characters “[” and “]” if that info is known. Second column example: Mary [Smith]. Now the “powers that be” want that second column split into two columns (becoming the second and third columns of the table but retaining all the rest of the columns, making this then a seven-column table). The new second column would have only the first names of all and the new third column would have maiden names if there are maiden names. The old third column would then become the new fourth column, etc. I found directions to split a single column into two, but I cannot make this work for a single column within a six-column table. Making this a seven-column table may make this too large a table for 8-1/2-inch wide paper, but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’m table challenged. A solution would keep me from cutting and pasting on hundreds of pages of material. |
