Default split cell in a Table (Word)

Topic

New Reply

For various reasons, I often have to split cells in a table. For the most part, I want to keep one column, but multiple rows. The default is for two columns, no matter what the arrangement is in the table.

Is there a way to change the default “Split Cell” dialog box?

You can’t change the defaults. You could, however, use a macro to perform a row split:

Code:

Sub Demo()
With Selection
  If .Information(wdWithInTable) = True Then
    .Cells(1).Split Numrows:=InputBox("Number of rows?"), NumColumns:=1
  End If
End With
End Sub

You could even assign such a macro to a shortcut key combination.
