You may wish to merge cells together either vertically or horizontally depending upon your output needs. Follow the instructions below to successfully merge cells in your Document Template.

 

Using the Ribbon to Merge and Un-Merge Cells

1. First, place your cursor in the desired location in the Grid where you would like to merge from. Available options will merge columns the right of the current cell as well as down from the current cell.

 

2. In the Ribbon, select the Layout Tab for the Grid, and locate the Merge Group.

Figure 1: The Merge Group is located in the Layout Tab.

 

3. You can select Merge Cells Horizontally or Merge Cells Vertically to merge cells vertically and horizontally from your currently selected cell. To remove select Split Cell Horizontally or Split Cell Vertically. When selecting these options, the cells will be merged or unmerged one cell at a time, so you will need to make this selection as many times to complete your merge needs.
