Join tables in word - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

I would like to merge 2 tables together in Microsoft Word. I have attempted to do the usual drag and drop, but I’m out of luck!

I don’t know if my mouse is the problem, but even if I use the touch pad I can reproduce this issue.

From allexperts.com:

There are a few things you can check
on:

Make sure that the second table doesn’t have any rows marked as
heading rows.

Make sure that neither table is wrapped (wrapping should be set to
None on the Table tab of Table
Properties).

Make sure that neither table (even if they appear identical) is nested in
one large cell of a containing table
(this sometimes happens with material
pasted from the Web).

That said, I can tell you that I once
had two tables—which I had created
myself, so I know there was nothing
unusual about them—that just refused
to merge, for no apparent reason. It’s
possible that the table structures
were somehow damaged, and if I’d been
doing this in Word 2003, perhaps using
Open and Repair would have fixed the
problem. As it was, it wasn’t vital
that the tables be actually part of
the same table, so I shrugged and
moved on.

If you encounter such a situation, you
have really only two recourses (if
Open and Repair doesn’t help):

Add rows to the first table and copy/paste the content of the second
table into them.

Convert both tables to text, then convert all the text back to a single
table.

Sorry I can’t be more definitive, but
this is a mystery to me, too!

Quite often you’ll find that you have two tables in a Word document and you want to join the two together to make just one table. The solution is simple but way from obvious.

To do this, first select over all the cells in one of the two tables. If the table is underneath the one you want to join it up to, then press Alt + Shift + ↑ to move the table up the document so that it joins the bottom of the table before it. Keep pressing the key until the top row that you have selected joins the bottom border of the one above.

If you have selected the topmost table, then press Alt + Shift + ↓ until the top table locks onto the table below.

You can also drag one table up or down until it joins but this method is very slick. It also works on a single row so you can take one row from one table and move only it to join up with another table or to become a table all of its own. Experiment with this key combination – I’m sure you will love it.

Once you’ve done this, the tables will be joined to make one single table. If desired, you can then adjust the positioning of the columns so that the columns match between the two tables – this isn’t required but you may want to do it if the columns are supposed to be the same throughout.

Similar situation I had was resolved by adding a blank row to the bottom of the upper table and a blank row to top of the lower table. Neither of these two new rows should have columns and both tables should be the identical width. Then, by removing any returns (blank lines) between the two tables, they should automatically join. Afterward, you can remove any unwanted rows.

I just had a situation where my table was breaking with the cells before the bottom of the page and leaving a blank spot at the bottom of ONE PAGE in just ONE SECTION of a 30-PAGE TABLE. I did all of the checking/unchecking that is mentioned here and at other advice boards, but to no avail.

After about an hour of beating my head against a wall I calmed down and just methodically went though every option available relating to the table and noticed that in the cell that should have been broken into the bottom of one page and the top of the next (but was instead getting moved to the next page in its entirety) had a specified height (Table Properties/Row tab). I removed it and instantly the table started breaking with the page as I had been after.

So, all that is to say — another option you should check if you’re encountering a situation where one cell of an otherwise-compliant table won’t break where it is supposed to — see if there’s a specified height to the cell in the Row tab under Table Properties.

Good luck!

Check the row height.

For Windows 10

Under Tables — Layout
Go to Cell Sizes
Click on Row
Uncheck Specify Height and in «Row Height is …» put at least
Under Options, check «Allow row to break across pages».

I found if I individually converted all the tables to text, separated by tabs using:

Table Tools / Layout/ Convert

to text then selected all the text and converted to tables using:

Insert / Table ↓ / Convert Text to table

that it worked for me.

When nothing else works, try the following solution (works in Word 2010):

Reveal hidden formatting characters (try Ctrl-Shift-8 or Alt,H,8).
Select the lower table’s contents (try Alt,J,L,K,T).
Click the selected text; drag it up beneath the upper table’s final, external paragraph mark; and release the mouse button.

If you have two or more tables that you need to merge in MS Word, simply put the cursor in the blank space between them and press the Delete Key until the lower table comes up and it’ll merge with the one on top. It worked for me with two identical tables.

answered Feb 27, 2014 at 16:24

Press Ctrl + Shift + 8. This will show all the non-printing characters in the word document. Delete the paragraph symbol ¶ between the two tables which you want to combine. The two tables will be combined.

answered May 12, 2015 at 9:53

I’ve been fighting with table styles all day then came across this problem. I had to clear formatting of both tables, then I deleted the paragraph between the tables and they merged perfectly.

answered Mar 28, 2017 at 19:07

Click on the cross-in-square at the left upper corner of the top table.

If both tables are highlighted, it is likely that the lower table is nested in the upper table.
Click on the same square for the lower table.
If only the lower table is highlighted, cut it (Ctrl—X) and paste it in the non-table space below the upper table.
Then proceed with the table merge strategies described by others.
Once they are merged, click and drag column boundaries of one table to match the other.

answered May 15, 2017 at 20:03

Click the button with a symbol ¶ (mirrored black P) which shows all non-printing characters (result of various formatting). Little blue marks will appear in the text.

Find one between two tables that prevents them from joining. Put your cursor next to it and press Delete. It will go away, and the tables would stick together.

answered Jun 25, 2013 at 20:46

As was suggested by a proficient user whose advice I found, I used the search and find using the caret p or ^p (and the caret is shift 6) to find the paragraph break between the sections.

Well, first I had to figure out how to show the search and find pane, which was under view, search. THen I had to figure out how to make the caret symbol, and finally figured that out.

Then I figured out you have to keep hitting «next» until it highlights the offending paragraph symbol.

Then, after trying a thousand other things that did not work, on the thousand and first try, I went to the edit menu again, and hit «cut»

and paragraph symbol that i did not want (that was giving me the blank space) was gone! Just like that!!!!!

answered Sep 7, 2013 at 23:10

It’s quite simple: insert empty row bellow first table, cut second table, right mouse click on added row then select paste option «merge tables»

answered Sep 18, 2015 at 9:15

If all the other suggestions have failed try this :

If you remove everything between the two tables that you want to merge you will likely find that you can move your cursor between the tables and it appears that there is a blank line in between them.

I’m sure you’ve tried hitting backspace expecting the lower table to move up and join the one above, but it seems that the blank line just will not let itself be removed.

Instead — try the DELETE key ! This has worked for me a number of times. The blank line in between dissapears and the tables sit next to each other and appear as one.

answered Aug 18, 2016 at 16:53

I went to hell and back with this problem.
I tried everything listed here above, and on many other forums and sites, but nothing worked.
I was trying to combine two IDENTICAL tables, each copied from a separate documents, to no avail. The tables look merged, but there is always a thicker line between them and each table would still be separate.

How I fixed it in the end was quite amusing yet incredibly unsatisfying:

Make sure you try everything mentioned before (wrapping, style, size…).
Leave the two tables apart.
Save the document.
Exit the document.
Open the document.
Delete the space between the two tables.
The tables merged.

Whatever was messed up with Word needed only a restart of the document to get fixed.

In Office 2007, select the space just below or above table depending on where the other table to be inserted and right click. You should find an option «Paste by Appending Table». Just click on it ….voila !!

answered Jul 30, 2017 at 7:05

After trying all of these I finally had a brainwave. Added, I am working on office for mac, so it might be a bit different, but try this (I love how simple this ended up being!):

Drag Select the last row of the first table you want to merge together with the first row of the table underneath, go to the Edit tab and select Merge table.

hahaha… so easy, but not really intuitive. Should this be under the table tab, Microsoft? (maybe I’m missing something?).

answered Sep 3, 2017 at 9:09

The merging of table can be done using text wrapping properties.

For that, select first table.
Go to properties—> In table properties, select text wrapping as none and then click OK.
Now select second table. do the same thing as mentioned in point No.2
If there is any gap between the 2 tables, place the cursor in the gap and press delete button or if you cannot place the cursor in between, place the cursor in the last row/ cell in the first table and press delete button.

And now the 2 tables become combined.

answered Nov 13, 2017 at 5:14

select last row of upper table and first row of below table, then go to layout option nd click on distribute rows

answered Mar 10, 2018 at 8:01

Save the document as an older version of Word, i.e. Word 97-2003. This will allow you to merge the two tables simply by deleting the ^p (paragraph/return) symbol.

This worked for me after trying everything above without success.

You can convert the document back to your current version of Word by ‘Save As’.

I have been using tables for many years, and this has been comparatively trouble-free.
However, just recently I discovered that one of my files could not be put into alphabetical order. At first I was puzzled and, thinking that I had made some kind of mistake, tried several times to fix the problem, but to no avail.
Then I tried selecting the table and, upon scrolling down, I discovered that the whole table had not been selected. The shading stopped at a line which was thicker than the boundaries between the other rows, as mentioned before on this list.
In this way I discovered that what I thought was one table consisted in fact of three tables, each with its little box with the cross marking the beginning of that table, but with no space between them.
I then noticed that the 2nd table had only two rows!
This apparent anomaly attracted my attention. Could these two rows have been imported from another file, perhaps a file composed in a different version of Word?
With this in mind, I went to the last row of the 1st table and inserted two new rows below it (by pressing ‘return’ and then F4 to repeat the action).
I then selected the two rows of the 2nd table, picked them up using Ctrl + x, and then selecting the two new empty rows, dropped what I had picked up into them.
This left two empty rows which I then deleted.
By using ‘select table’ I found that I now had one table, which I could now put int alphabetical order!

answered Jul 8, 2018 at 15:33

Inert a blank row at the bottom of the upper table. Define all cells of the bottom table. Place your cursor at the top-left corner of the upper-left defined cell of the bottom table. Press the left mouse button and, holding it down, slide it up into the left inserted cell at the bottom of the upper table. Boom.

answered Sep 27, 2018 at 21:37

For me (using Word for Mac),

Whilst in Print Layout View (either checked in View Menu equivalent icon in View Ribbon icon selected)

I used the following icon first
(Found on the Home ribbon)

For me I was then able to delete a page break:

But still had a symbol like the menu bar icon in the text between the two tables.

I just drag-clicked over the control character to select it, then used the Cut keyboard shortcut Cmd-X.
Voila!

In this article, we are glad to present you with 4 quick and easy to follow methods to merge two tables in your Word document.

From time to time, we would have to deal with tables in our documents. For example, when there are 2 tables which holding the same type of data, we can consider merging them.

In that event, we offer you 4 working solutions to achieve such effect as below:

Method 1: The Drag Way

It’s not rocket science to join 2 tables. Obviously, the easiest way is to drag way.

Click on the cross sign on the upper-left corner to select a table.
Then drag it to the place near another table.
Finally, release mouse and drop the table there.

You can check this video:

Method 2: Use “Merge Table” Option

Firstly, click on the cross sign to select the first table.
Then press “Ctrl+ X” to cut the table.
Next place cursor at the start of the line right below the second table.
And right click.
Lastly, on the contextual menu, choose “Merge Table”.

Method 3: Use “Delete”

First off, if there are no texts or just unnecessary contents between two target tables, select the texts or spaces.
Secondly, press “Delete” to get rid of them until tables stick together.

However, if the contents are necessary, you can choose to paste them to somewhere else before pressing “Delete”.

Method 4: Use Shortcuts

On one hand, if you need to combine a table with the one above it, you should select it and press “Alt+ Shift+ Up arrow”. On the other hand, if you need to merge a table with the one below it, you select it and press “Alt+ Shift+ Down arrow”.

You can check this demonstration:

Comparison of 4 Methods

Methods	Advantages	Disadvantages
Method 1: The Drag Way	The quickest way	1. Need to delete table caption afterwards 2. Requiring precise operation or you may get a nest table
Method 2: Use “Merge Table” Option	Can avoid nasty result, such as getting nest table	1. Need to delete table caption afterwards 2. The cursor must be placed at the start of the line or there is no “Merge Table” option.
Method 3: Use “Delete”	1. No need to delete table caption afterwards 2. Can avoid nasty result, such as getting nest table	1. You may have to press “Delete” more than once. 2. Sometimes you have to paste contents between tables to somewhere else first.
Method 4: Use Shortcuts	1. No need to paste contents between tables to somewhere else first 2. Can avoid nasty result, such as getting nest table	1. Need to delete table caption afterwards 2. You have to hold down “Alt+ Shift” and press up or down arrow repeatedly.

Handle Impaired Word Files

There will always be problems bothering us while using Word. And the most severe one should be the collapse of the software. More often than not, the consequence is overwhelming, because we are not just facing a Word stopping work but also loss of valuable files. Therefore, we recommend you a tool which can recover corrupt Word document.

Why can’t I join two tables in Word?

Because the “delete the paragraphs between two tables and they will join” technique only works if the text wrapping property is the same between the two tables—they must both be “None” or “Around.” If you get rid of the intervening paragraphs and they don’t join, it is a dead giveaway that the text wrapping properties

Which function is used to join 2 or more columns together to form a data frame?

merge() for combining data on common columns or indices. . join() for combining data on a key column or an index. concat() for combining DataFrames across rows or columns.

Which function is used to join 2 or more columns together to form a data frame in R?

In R we use merge() function to merge two dataframes in R. This function is present inside join() function of dplyr package.

You can easily merge and split cells in Microsoft Word to make your tables more interesting and more suited to the data you are trying to share. When you merge two or more cells, you are bringing them together in one cell. When you split a cell, you are dividing it from one cell into multiple cells.

You can merge and split tables on the individual cell level, as well as on the larger, table-wide level. In this article, I’ll show you how to merge and split table cells and tables in Word.

Merging cells in a table combines two or more adjacent cells of the same size into one larger cell.

First, select the cells you want to merge. They can be adjacent cells in a row or column.

Or they can be adjacent cells that span multiple rows and columns.

When you have your cells selected, right-click any of the selected cells, and then choose the “Merge Cells” command on the context menu.

If you prefer using Word’s menus, you can also head to the Table Tools “Layout” tab, and then click the “Merge Cells” button there.

Either way, your cells are now merged.

How to Split Cells In A Word Table

Splitting table cells in Word is only slightly more complicated than merging them. You can use the split command to one or more cells into a set number of rows and columns. Here’s how it works.

Let’s first say that we just one to split a single cell into two cells. First select the cell you want to split.

Then, right-click the selected cell and choose the “Split Cells” command from the context menu. (You can also head to Table Tools > Layout > Split Cells on the Word Ribbon if you prefer.)

This opens the Split Cells window. By default, it’s set up to split the selected cell(s) into two columns, which is exactly what we want. You can just go ahead and click the “OK” button to make the split. Input the number of rows and columns you would like to split your cell into.

And that cell we selected is now two cells.

As you probably guessed from the options in that Split Cells window, you can also get a little more complex with cell splitting. Let’s say we had a table like the one shown below. And we want to take those selected cells (the ones in gray under the second column header) and turn them into two big rows of three columns each.

We’d head to Table Tools > Layout > Split Cells (a lot of times the Split Cells command doesn’t show up on the context menu when you have multiple cells selected, so it’s easier to use the Ribbon button). In the Split Cells window, we’d select three columns and two rows. We also want those cells merged before being split, so make sure that option is selected.

When we hit “OK” the table turns out just like you’d expect.

And obviously, this is just a quick look. You can get just about as complicated with your table layout as you’d want.

How to Split a Table in Word

You can split an entire table in Word. This can be useful for splitting long tables into two separate tables—mostly in hopes of dealing with formatting issues that multi-page tables can sometimes cause.

First, click to place your insertion point in the cell where you would like your table split to begin. The cell that contains the insertion point will become the top row of the second table.

Head to Table Tools > Layout, and then click the “Split Table” button.

Your table is now split into two tables.

How to Merge a Table in Word

And as you might expect, you can also merge tables together. There’s no button on the menu for this one, though. You have to do it by dragging and dropping.

Hover your pointer over the table you would like to merge until the table’s handle (the plus sign) appears at its top left corner. You can click and drag the table using that handle.

Drag the table until its top row aligns with the bottom row of the table you’re merging into.

When you release your mouse button, Word merges the two tables.

Now you know how to easily merge and split tables and table cells in Microsoft Word. Of course, like with any other Word feature, this one takes some playing with. Especially if you’re doing complex merges and splits (or merging together long tables), formatting can sometimes get a little weird.
