Merge Cells

Cell merging is used to combine multiple cells into a single cell. You can merge cells both horizontally and vertically in a table. Vertical cell merging is possible only within the same row type, that is, within the Header, Group Header, Footer, Group Footer, or Details row.

Note that when you merge multiple cells, only the content of the upper-left cell for left-to-right languages, or the upper-right cell for right-to-left languages is preserved.
