When you open a Word 2.0 document that contains a table with merged
cells into Word 6.0 or Word 7.0, you will see the following problems
when you place the insertion point in a merged cell:
- The margin release indicators on the ruler are missing.
- You cannot set tabs by clicking the ruler.
- Although the tab indicators do not display on the ruler if you set tabs
from the Format menu, you can use them.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it

Select the table cells, click Split Cells on the Table menu, and then
remerge the cells. The margin release indicators and the tab stops will
display on the ruler.
