How to set colspan of a cell in table via the graphical editor? [message #85543]

I want to lay out a table something like:

GROUP TITLE -------------------------------------- END OF ROW
COLUMN A | COLUMN B | COLUMN C

There's an analogous example in the sample reports (the classic cars
example):

http://www.eclipse.org/birt/examples/solution/ProductCatalog .html

Where the "Model Description" cell has a colspan of 3.

If I pull up the XML of the sample, it's obvious that the way to make a cell
span 3 columns is, unsurprisingly to add the attribute colSpan="3" to the
cell.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this via the graphical
editor though. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to do
this?

Thanks,

--- Pat

In case anyone else runs into this:

Select the cell you want to extend to a colspan > 1. Shit->click on the cell
to its right. Right click on "merge".

Hi, Patrick
You can merge cells by context menu action.
Try to select the cells you want to merge and right click on them
