How may I split a table row at the position of the caret?

[chrisjj]

From this having the caret part-down the left cell:

(note that the vertical position of the text at the caret and corresponding in the right cell is dependent on text wrap) I want this:

in one (or few) operations - without having to manually cut and paste text between cells.

Is this possible?

This workaround seems to me a bit easier than to cut and paste between cells.

1. Convert table to text separating text at paragraphs (you will get the second column content below).
2. Convert text to table separating text at paragraphs (you will get one column with one paragraph per cell).
3. Insert a column after (to the right).
4. [Move] Copy last cells content to second column.
5. Merge cells as needed [one column at a time].
6. [Delete empty rows.]

Thanks, but that will fails on:

having a para break.

No. You must just…

@LeroyG

Merge cells as needed

without having to manually

unfortunately nothing out of the box,
and Recording a Macro is not that good at spliting cells,

so, it would require a bit of not so trivial programming – that AI will probably be able to deliver in a few months or years

Thanks, and thanks for saving my time attempting a macro.
