How to merge cells of table in OneNote

Hello,

 

I have created document in word but for organizing that document section wise and explaining it to my team I have used OneNote and I was looking for the way to have similar kind of table structure in OneNote as I have created in Word.

I want to know how to merge cells of table in OneNote.

 

Thank you.

    There is a way to do some kind of merging.

    If you take the last collumn ,copy it, then paste it in the upper cell of that section you get a merging like this.

    It's not perfect but good enough for my shopping list. 🙂 SUPARNA KANSAKAR

      pannndoraThat's not merging, that's nesting. Not the same, but that's awesome you found a solution that works for you.

    Please note that OneNote Gem table merge add-in is NOT a normal table and is probably not what you are looking for. It basically creates boxes which can be merged together - did not work for me. I found it difficult to use and work with.

    Isn't it time you implement this simple feature that is available in all other tools MSFT is providing???

        Many of us are using work computers and our organizations don't allow us to just download things of this nature. Thanks for the info, but for many of us, this isn't a viable solution.

    Hi,
    I think that the closest you can come is to right-click, convert table into Excel table - and merge there.

    Kind regards
