When I make a table and merge some cells I cannot find a way to split them again. The split option is always grey. I cannot find any situation where the split cells option is not grey. Steps to reproduce:
- Open Scribus 1.5.4
- Create a new document with default options
- insert a 5x5 table
- merge row 1 into a single cell
- split row 1 back into 5 cells. >> not working. the split option is grey. how can this be done?
Thanks!
all i can say: the table editor is still an unfinished work in progress...
i would not recommend using it:
- would tabs be enough?
- importing a table from libre office as pdf or png?
- or would a real infographics be more telling for your readers?

Thanks for the update and the suggestions! I was thinking it might still be under development but couldn't find the status. Looks like it's shaping up to be a great addition to Scribus. Another issue I had was the undo feature is not working for the table. I'll see if I can file a bug on these today.
I was tasked with making a bunch of boring credit application forms. The pages are in a grid and look almost like a spreadsheet but lots of merged segments. I was basing it off a 30 x 10 table. It's supposed to have PDF form fields and lots of formatting on the text which made me think of Scribus.
I hadn't thought of using an image of the table structure which might work out. Thanks again!
