Merge Cells: Add the option to merge cells within a table
There is currently no option to merge cells within a table that has been inserted into a Word document in the online version of Word. Can this option please be included?

Thanks to your feedback, Word Online now supports the ability to merge and split cells in tables!
To access these capabilities, simply select cells and right-click to ‘Merge Cells’ or ‘Split Cells’ or access these options through the Table tab.
Get started today at http://office.com!
Thanks!

Much wanted feature indeed, especially split cell! To be fair in Google docs you can merge cells, but you cannot split :/

Not only the option to merge cells, but also the option to add new rows with merged cells. Rather disappointing that such a basic feature does not exist and has to be requested.

Definitely, Google is light-years ahead of Microsoft in cloud apps. Unfortunately, for work reasons, I am forced to use those garbage cloud apps from MS. Nothing in the world is so limited and has so many bugs like those MS creepy things. "Merge cells" is one of the most important things for text editing nowadays.
