9271	Merge Columns	Peter Tebbenhoff		"The merge and add row/column function provided is too basic . Merge a row of 10 columns needs 10 individual click to merge.

Step 1: User adds a Table with 10 columns and 3 rows.  by clicking on the “Insert/Edit” Table functionality
 
Step 2: User wants to merge the column for the table created. If the user wants to merge the columns C, D, E, and F, the user needs to perform the following steps:
•	Click each cell and right click to select “Cell”
•	Merge Right.

 
Problem: The user needs to perform multiple clicks in order to perform a simple merging of columns in the table.  If the table has multiple columns and rows and some of the columns within certain rows need to be merged then it becomes very time-consuming.

Requested Solution: The customer expects a much more easier functionality like creating a “Table” in Microsoft Word."	New Feature	new	Normal		Core : Tables	3.2.1		column merge
