How do I merge table cells in Lithium?
My team is using Lithium/Khoros for our new documentation platform. I've been exploring and I'd like to learn how to merge two or more table cells in Lithium.
I've succeeded in merging cells using the HTML, but my team does this often enough that using the HTML is a clunky and inconvenient solution.
I've also tried highlighting the relevant table cells in the Rich Text view of the article, clicking Table, clicking Cell, and trying to click Merge Cell.
For some reason, I can't highlight the relevant table cells even when there's text in all of them (or none of them) and "Merge Cells" is grayed out so I can't use it. In a previous attempt, I was able to highlight the relevant cells, then click Table > Cell > Merge Cells, but unfortunately, this did nothing.
I'd appreciate some help learning how to get that option to show up and work. Thank you!
Hi rebekah_reveile ,
You can try following approaches:
1.You can try to select the cells by holding the left mouse button and then dragging the cursor through the cells which need to be merged .This will highlight the cells. After this You can use the merge cells option as mentioned by you.(click Table > Cell > Merge Cells).
2. If your team is not comfortable with using the editor, you can create the table in Google spreadsheet and try copying the table(Simply selecting the required section from spreadsheet and then pasting it in editor), this may reduce the effort to merge cells in the editor
Hope this helps!!!
Please give Kudos if you find this post useful and mark it as Accept as solution if this is the required solution.
