Just drag the side of a cell, thats as easy as it gets!

The join cell, split cell are present in the latest release. Setting borders
is re-done in the developers release and done in a similar fashion as Word.

The meaning is to provide correct and advanced tables that are easy to use.
This takes time to do correctly; sorry if it is moving too slow.


Have fun with KWord anyway!
