Microsoft OneNote: Merge Table Cells

Key insights

• OneNote now includes a Merge Cells option for table editing.
  This makes table layouts cleaner and faster to format in notes.
• How to use: select the adjacent cells you want to combine, right‑click and pick Merge Cells or use the table toolbar command shown in the short.
  The video demonstrates selecting cells and applying the merge in seconds.
• Result and behavior: merged cells become a single cell that keeps the existing text and basic formatting.
  You can undo mistakes immediately with Ctrl+Z.
• Limitations to know: you can only merge adjacent cells horizontally or vertically.
  The feature does not support merging non‑adjacent cells.
• Reversing changes: use the table options to Split Cells if you need to break a merged cell back into parts.
  The short shows splitting as the quick follow‑up to merging.
• Get the feature: update OneNote to the latest release to access Merge Cells.
  Use merges for headers, cleaner layouts, or to combine pasted content without reformatting.
