Following are the simple steps to split a table into two tables in a Word document.

Step 1 − Bring your mouse pointer position anywhere in the row that should appear as the first row of the new table.

Step 2 − Now click the Layout tab and then click the Split Table button which will split the table into two tables and the selected row will become the first row of the lower table.

After splitting the table into two tables, you can further divide it into two parts and you can continue dividing the Word tables as long as a table has more than one row.
