Joining and splitting cells is useful for making column headers or using tables to arrange text and images on a web page. The example table in this tip is 600 pixels across, the columns are 120 each, and the joined header cell spans 4 columns or 480 pixels.
Text is centered in the cells for the header, the countries and the years.
Only the month-day text is left justified. This first example table appears as planned in the WordPerfect web document. However, when the HTML file is published some width commands may be omitted or improperly stated. Also, the column for 1998 can appear improperly sized. Now, WordPerfect usually publishes HTML with correct column widths and spans when using WordPerfect 8 version 8.0.0.611 and earlier.
