In the Split Cells window, we’d select three columns and two rows. We also want those cells merged before being split, so make sure that option is selected.

Now you know how to easily merge and split tables and table cells in Microsoft Word. Of course, like with any other Word feature, this one takes some playing with. Especially if you’re doing complex merges and splits (or merging together long tables), formatting can sometimes get a little weird.
