The example below shows that the bottom cell has been split into 2 columns.
Additionally, the “borders” have been moved to allow more room for text on the left and
a small picture on the right. As you type in text or insert pictures the height of the row
will automatically adjust.
You can add more rows, but after splitting a row into 2 or more columns, new rows will
have the same number of columns. You can use “MERGE CELLS” to create one cell out of
2 or more cells.
You could add more rows if desired to hold more pictures and text on the same rows. You could
also add a row, then SELECT all the CELLS on that ROW and Choose MERGE CELLS to create just
one cell (or column) on that row.
Hiding Table and Cell Borders
Notice that the table and its rows and columns are indicated by a solid black line. Most web
pages don’t show these so you may want to make them “invisible”. To hide them:
1. Open Table Properties as previously described
2. Click on the Borders and Shading button
3. Choose “None” under the Borders Tab
The borders will “disappear”
In Word 2007, to “show” the borders so you can see them while your working on your
page, select Table Tools > Layout > View Gridlines. The Table, Rows and Column edges
will appear as dotted lines but will be invisible when viewed as a web page.
[In Word 2003, the borders remain “visible” as light gray lines but will disappear when
viewed as a web page]

The height will increase as you type in text.
A “random” picture has been inserted into the cell
on the right. Pictures can be resized by clicking on
them then using the CORNER handles to drag
them to any size needed.
