Default How to split (half) one cell w/o changing col or rows.

Thanks again, but that just results in one cell with Cat in it and 2 columns.
I want the opposite. 2 cells in the same column....

I can give a cheat..

Add the column after cat, then merge the cat header from column C to D.
That's the box with the a and arrows to the right of the right formatting
button...

Thanks Sean but I was looking just to spit the "cell" in half vertically

Are you saying you'd like to add a column between, say, cat and bird, and
take part of cat and put it in the added cell?

You can do that a coule of ways... Depending on how you want to split the
cell.

My favorite is to add a column to the right of Cat, then highlighting the
cat column, Data-Text to Columns
If you're breaking it in half based on length of text, use Fixed Width and
click where you want the split.
If, say, you want to break in half where there's a space, select Delimited
and checkmark the Space option.

If you mean something completely different, please let us know. :-)

I was wondering is there anyway to split (half) just one cell in a
spreadsheet. For example: 3 colums 3 rows

Dog Cat Bird
Type
Color
Breed

Now I want to split the Cell Cat in half and have the capability to format
each half, w/o affecting the adjacent col and rows?.
