At first, it seemed that one cell, row, or column was fine, but later you decide that the logic of the presentation calls for two (or more) where there once was one. In any divorce, amicable or not, one has to divvy up the jointly held property. Like a few of the shadier attorneys, Word seems to think that everything should go to one party, the other getting nothing.

If we reverse the situation illustrated, to make a long story short, we end up with all of the data in the upper row, as shown in Figure 9-16.

When you split cells using Word’s default divorce attorney, you’re going to have to manually redistribute the goodies after the split. You get to be the judge!

A better solution to managing and controlling split-ups is to use the Draw Table tool, described later in this chapter. In Table Tools?Design, click on the Draw Table tool to set it in motion. Use the tool to draw a line in a cell between the items you want to separate. The items above the new line go north, and the ones below the line head south.

Horizontal splits are often harder to control. The trick is to make sure that items are horizontally displayed and separated either by at least two spaces or by a tab (press Ctrl+Tab to insert a tab inside a table). It can still be tedious, but it’s a bit more direct than using the dialog box, and you have a bit more control and precision, your honor.
