Split cell content (not just the cell)

Given a (Word 2003) table cell with text in it, is there a way to spli
the cell at cursor point so that the text after that point is moved to
new cell below while the text before that point stays in the curren
cell

I'm sure someone could come up with a macro to do that.

Just to be clear, you are saying that you want to split the cell into two
rows and one column?

Thanks for following up. I found a macro that splits a cell into 2 row
and 1 column. But it works only for 1-column tables and I have
2-column table.

The cells that contain the text are in one column only. But when I spli
a cell, the other cell on the same row needs to split too for the tex
to remain in that same column -- so it's like splitting a row into
rows

Could you post the macro code so that we can see what the macro does in
detail?

I found that macro at

I'm not sure it can be posted, so I abstain.
