You can now split a table cell at an arbitrary offset, rather than having to split exactly in the middle as with previous versions. There is also a new mouse-drag interface for cell splitting, which lets you manually drag an indicator to the desired split point. In addition, you can split a single cell into multiple (more than two) new cells in a single operation. All of these new cell splitting features make it easier to construct complex table structures.
◊ To split a cell at an arbitrary offset:
1. Activate the cell by clicking in it.
2. Choose either Split at right or Split at bottom, from the Table / Split cells menu. This brings up the Split Cell dialog.
 
3. To split at an arbitrary offset, leave the Split by drag or entered value button checked. Now place the cursor over the cell and hold the mouse button down; a scale and line will appear. While the button is down, you can drag the line to the exact point where you want the split. As you drag, the Offset from left value in the dialog will show the exact position (if you are splitting horizontally, it will be labelled Offset from top ). This is shown below.
 
4. When the split point indicator is at the correct position, click OK in the dialog to complete the split.
If you are splitting a cell that has multiple cells along one or both of the sides being split, then the indicator line will "stick" as you drag it across those adjacent split points. This allows you to easily align splits in adjacent cells. An example is shown below.
    
◊ To split a cell into more than two equal-size cells:
1. Activate the cell and bring up the Cell Split dialog, as described above.
2. Click the Split into equal parts radio button, and enter the number of cells to split into. (If the box is left blank, it will split into two equal-sized cells.)
