Modify table cells in the text editor

While working in the composing space's text editor, you can modify a table cell's properties (such as its vertical alignment), merge cells, and separate merged cells.

When you merge cells, you specify the number of columns and rows that the merger is to span. The resulting merged cell will be in the position of the cell that you initially clicked. Show me an example.

In the first table, the user clicked in the cell containing "ferret" and then selected to merge cells spanning two columns and two rows. The second table shows the resulting merger.
