Question: Repair word on mac. In Excel 2011 for Mac, how do I merge cells together in a spreadsheet?
Answer: Select the cells that you wish to merge. Right-click and then select 'Format Cells' from the popup menu.
When the Format Cells window appears, select the Alignment tab. Check the 'Merge cells' checkbox. Click on the OK button.
Now when you return to the spreadsheet, you will find your selected cells merged into a single cell.
Add a table to your PowerPoint slide and thenpopulate the table with content -- and thenwhat comes next? Probably you need to add or remove rows and columns. That's the case with most people who work with tables. But very few people realize that the tablecells can be made larger or smaller without influencing the entire row or column -- and that's something that can be easily achievedby merging or splitting cells in your existing table. This is essentially true for tables that have two header rows, or even withtables that have a long phrase in the header row, as shown within the sample table shown towards the top in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Some tables need to have merged or split cells
Notice that the header content, Weather in C and Weather in F both span two lines each whereas thedata below does not really need that much space. So merging the two header cells and then substituting the text in the merged cellmakes this table use space much more efficiently, as shown within the table that's shown at the bottom ofFigure 1, above.
Similarly there are plenty of reasons where you can benefit from splitting a large cell into two smaller cells without influencingthe rest of the rows and columns within your table -- this can be achieved using PowerPoint's Merge and Split options that you can find within Table Layout tab of theRibbon as shown highlighted inred, within Figure 2, below.

Using these two options you can merge and split table cells as required. Note that you may find the Merge optiongreyed out if you have selected a single cell within the table. To explore more about Merge and Splitoptions, explore the sections below:
Let us start with merging cells in a table:
Unlike in Excel where you can only split cells that were previously merged, PowerPoint has no such limitations. However, you reallydo not want to split a cell unless you have a compelling reason. In our case, we are assuming that we merged some cells by error, andnow want to split them so that we can get back the structure of our original table. Follow these steps to split a selected cell intomultiple rows and columns in a table:
