Merge or unmerge table cells in Pages on Mac

1. Go to the Pages app on your Mac.

2. Open a document with a table, then select two or more adjacent cells.

3. Control-click the cells, then choose Merge Cells.

   Note: If the Merge Cells command is dimmed, you might have selected entire columns or rows, or a header cell and a body cell, which can’t be merged, even if they’re adjacent.

These are the results of merging cells:

• If only one of the cells contains content prior to merging, the merged cell retains the content and formatting of that cell.

• If multiple cells contain content before merging, all the content is retained, but cells with a specific data format, such as numbers, currency, or dates, are converted to text.

• If a fill color is applied to the top-left cell, the merged cell takes on the fill color.

1. Go to the Pages app on your Mac.

2. Open a document with a table, Control-click the cells, then choose Unmerge Cells.

   All of the content from the previously merged cell appears in the first unmerged cell.
