Table cells will not line up horizontally where cells are merged

I have a large table with many merged vertical cells. When merging them, they do not line up horizontally with the cells to the left or right of them. At most, I am only merging two vertical cells. I've tried everything in the settings, and dragging the cells does not work. I'm beginnig to think that lining them up will not be possible when merging.

HI - Here's a screenshot - you'll see it happening in the middle 3 columns. Thanks!

You can set cell height in Table > Cell Options > Rows and Columns. Change the Row Height from At Least to Exactly.

Hi

I bet you first merged cells, then used split cells instead of cancel merging.

Have a look at this:

You are correct!!

I just figured this out on my own a few minutes ago, so I'm glad you concur. I will know better next time. Thanks for your help.!

I tried this, and it spreads out the type some, but the cells are still not aligned horizontally. Any other ideas? Not sure why this happened only in 3 cases, but it really stands out as a big mistake. Thanks!

Would you be willing to share a screen shot of the table? Baseline alignment controls vertical alignment, and you are asking for horizontal alignment, so I'm confused. You can use the button shown below to add the screen shot to your reply.
