 Merging cells in table and giving tabs in side multiple cells

Hi,

I've got these long tables in MS-word and i want to merge the cels of
the table. But what i whant is that i should be able to select
multiple rows and collumns, yet when i merge them only cels should be
merged collumn wise not row wise.

Second, I got to give tabs in all those cels, like there is in
indexing (the doted ones). I do this one cel at one time. Is there any
way which can make me select entire collumn and give the tab (right
allinged) so that all cels have them at one go

Thanks

To answer your second question first, if you select an entire column, you
can add a tab using either the ruler or the Tabs dialog (you'll need to
access the dialog to select the period leader, anyway).

As for merging cells, this is a feature that unfortunately was broken in the
upgrade from (I think) Word 95 to Word 97. If you select cells in two
columns and several rows to be merged, they're all merged into a single
cell. There is, however, a workaround: display the Tables and Borders
toolbar, select the Eraser tool, and use that to erase the column border;
the row structure will be preserved.
