Hi,

From your message I understand that you have a framework that was created before oXygen 18.

In the last version we have updated the frameworks table operations. For example, we have removed the "Join Row Cells", "Join Cell Above" and "Join Cell Bellow" operations and we have added a single operation called "Join", that allows you to join all selected cells (similarly, there is a single split operation now).

To have access to the improved table operations you should get the last built-in framework. If you need to do some framework customization, I suggest you to use the framework extensions functionality.
In this way, you can benefit of new functionality added to the base framework by newer version. Here are more details:

Now, back to your problem. My question is: how do you select the two side-by-side cells? The old "Join Row Cells" operation works only on continuous selection. So, for example, if you select the cells by using CTRL + click, the operation will provide the same message you mentioned:

 "The operation is enabled only when there is a selection that contains at least two cells from the same row of a table or when the caret is positioned between two horizontally adjacent cells."

If this is your case, try to select the two cells by mouse drag (or by using SHIFT + arrows keys) before invoking the join operation.

Best Regards,

Mihaela

Good morning,

I want to join 2 table-cells. If one is below or above the other – easy. But I want to join two cells side by side: 
I put the cursor in the right cell, this message appears: »The operation is enabled only when there is a selection that contains at least two cells from the same row of a table or when the caret is positioned between two horizontally adjacent cells.« 
I mark 2 cells, the button is enabled.
What is to do?

Kind regards
