How to Merge Tables in Microsoft Word 2007

1. Open the Word document. Decide which tables and which sections (if not the entire table) you want to merge.
2. Select the relevant cells from the table from which you will be moving cells.
3. Click the “Copy” function on the "Home" tab or press the “CTRL” and “C” keys simultaneously to copy the selected area.
4. Set the cursor location to paste your merged cells. Add copied material to the top or bottom of the destination table by placing the cursor above or below the table, clicking on the arrow below the “Paste” icon on the “Home” tab and clicking “Paste by Appending Table.” To nest multiple rows and columns as a table within a single cell, select that cell and paste inside it. To merge the copied cells into the table in that position, rather than nesting them, click on the clipboard icon that appears to the lower right of the pasted cells, and select “Merge with Existing Table” from the resulting menu.
