Question about MERGING CELLS - 4/18/2001 20:40:00
ok let me make this simple. I made a 4x4 table. and it looks like this1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
-- --- --- ---
5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
-- --- --- ---
9 | 10| 11| 12|
-- --- --- ---
13| 14| 15| 16| my question is....how do I merge 5,9,13 together. I tried shift+alt and clicking them and just shit and just alt and clicking....but it always seems to highligh the whole row (ex. 9,10,11,12) instead of just 5,9,13

Try placing your cursor in cell #13, click (and hold), and move the cursor up to cell #5. Those three cells should now be highlighted. Right-click and choose "Merge Cells". Hopefully, that'll do it..... Interesting typo, too, by the way.... Cecil ------------------

Ok let's look at it from the html approach
here is your table in html. <table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
</tr>
</table>
Here is your table with cells (your numbers 5,9,and 13)
Merged.
<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="25%" rowspan="3"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
</tr>
</table> Intially your created a table with 4 columns and 4 rows hence the table size of 100% and cell size of 25%. When you merge the cells in a table column, you are spanning the rows (rowspan="3")notice we didn't make any changes to the cell size, as we haven't given the height a value. although we could simply by this:
<td width="25%" rowspan="3" height="75"></td> Finally here is some html to copy into notepad. I have added a border and nbsp so you can see the table in your browser. <table border="2" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="25%" height="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"> </td>
<td width="25%"> </td>
<td width="25%"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="25%" rowspan="3" height="75"></td>
<td width="25%"> </td>
<td width="25%"> </td>
<td width="25%"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="25%"> </td>
<td width="25%"> </td>
<td width="25%"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="25%"> </td>
<td width="25%"> </td>
<td width="25%"> </td>
</tr>
