How do I unmerge two fields in a Powerpoint table?

I have merged two fields in a table in Powerpoint and now wish to un-merge
them so I can enter a separate comment to each.

To merge them I right-clicked and selected 'merge cells'. There is no
'un-merge cells' command to undo this. Undo doesn't work either (doesn't go
back far enough).

Do I have to delete and re-key the affected rows and columns?
 
John,
There is no split function, but you can redraw the cell borders using the
draw table tool (first button) on the tables and borders toolbar. You will
get a pencil, drag a line from top to bottom. If there is text in the cell
it will end in the left cell of the two. That should do it.
 
John,
Alternatively, add a 'split cells' button to the toolbar. Rightclick next to
a toolbar, choose customize, second tab, tables category, select split cells
drag it to a toolbar of your choice preferably the tables and borders
toolbar.
 
John,
Kind a slow today, forgot that in the tables and borders toolbar you can
click on tables, in the menu there should be a split cells item. The other
possibilities still stand, depends on how you what to proceed.
And to top it you can always decide to adapt the right-click popup menu, see
here for an explanation:

That's what you call information overload <g>
 
Im guessing that you used a right click menu to merge the cells. There is a
split cells command but its not by default in the right click menu. In the
table toolbar (view > toolbars if you cant see it) use the table drop down,
it should be there
