While Word may have more editing features, I still like Google Docs as my document tool.
I think Google did miss the fact that so many people wanted this, as was evident by how many times my tweet got retweeted and by how many people I follow on Twitter were tweeting the same thing. The thing is, even though I am a big fan of Google Apps due to what we can do with them with students (for free), this was a feature that was not necessary but is nice to have.
#Google doc merge cells update
I can hear those people who use Word yelling at all of those who are happy with this update that they could always do this in Word. This is a big thing for people who really want to format their tables in a certain way but were not able to do so before without a workaround using spreadsheets or another document type. You can also do this by highlighting those cells and then right-clicking to get the same options. You can merge cells by simply highlighting those cells, click on “Table” and then “Merge Cells”. You can find out more about the updates today at There are also some other updates but this seems to be the one that people wanted the most. This is a new update and is rolling out to all accounts as I type. Now I know many people would have assumed you could have done this before, they would be wrong.
You can now finally merge table cells in a Google Doc. Google has come out with another update to Google Apps, which it does with regularity, and this one appears to be one that could seem small to many but according to my Twitter stream, it was a big one.
