= SUMMARY =

If two cells are merged using the Table command in the Format menu (the Edit menu in Word version 4.0), that new cell formed from the two combined cells cannot be merged with another cell. The Merge Cells button will be unavailable in the Table dialog box.

However, if Merge Cells or Split Cells is added to the Document menu from the Commands dialog box in the Edit menu, these commands will not appear dimmed even if a previously merged cell is selected; instead, an error beep results.

Previously merged cells can be split and remerged with a group of cells.
