    Merge columns, but not the rows

    Posted by Derrick Carroll on November 27, 2010 at 4:40 pm

    I’m using Indesign CS4.

    I’m importing an excel spreadsheet into indesign to create tables.

    The spread sheet uses about 20 columns and 40 rows. The first 4 columns have information that need to be combined into one column. How can I merge multiple columns without merging the rows? Can I do in InDesign? If not, how do I do it in excel 2004?

    thanks,
    Derrick

    I know that it can be done in Excel. However, I do not know the exact process (don’t have Excel in front of me here).

    …something like…
    highlight the cells you want to merge….somewhere in Excel “merge cells”. I would do a help command and search “merge cells”
