It is quite simple to merge cells within a Microsoft Word table: simply highlight the cells, then click on Table on the main menu across the top, and then select the Merge Cells option. Alternatively highlight the cells, then right-click with the mouse and select the Merge Cells option from the context menu that appears.

In Word 2007, start by selecting all of the cells that you want to merge. The easiest way to do this is to click and drag your mouse over all of them. Then go to the "Layout" tab under "Table Tools" on the ribbon. The third section from the left is for merging, select "Merge Cells" and you are done!

Highlight the two cells you want to merge by dragging your mouse across them. In the Table menu, choose Merge Cells.

You first need to select the cells you wish to merge, then right click on your mouse and select the "merge cells" option. Or you can select the cells you wish to merge, then go to the Layout tap on top of the screen and click on the "merge cells" icon.

Firstly, select the cells in the table, to be merged. Then,click the `tables and boarders` icon on the tool bar. A menu with several options will appear. Click the `merge cells` option. The cells you want to merge will get merged. This is the easiest way to merge cells in a Word table.
