How to delete a split table cell?

D

David

I have a table with 3 columns, the third column has split
cells i.e one cell in column 1 and 2 has multiple cells in
column 3.
I have a case where I need to delete the uppermost split
cell in column 3 of a row.

So far I have not been able to do this.
If I say delete row, it also deletes column 1 and 2 which
I don't want. If I say delete cell, it asks if I want to
shift cells or delete the row. If I say delete row it
clears out column 1 and 2 as well. If I say shift cells,
if shifts all the cells in the table not just the split
cells in the row I'm working with.
Essentially what I need is an 'unsplit cell' command.

I hope this is clear and that someone knows the answer.
I'm using Word 2000.

Select the two cells, right-click, and choose Merge Cells.
