Default Adding "Split Table" to a toolbar

Greetings:

I am dividing very long tables into a large number of smaller ones. I need
to do this in several documents and I am using the "Split Table" command on
the "Table" menu to do it. Since I have to do this scores of times in each
document, it would be much more convenient if I could click once on a toolbar
button then twice on a pull-down menu. But I cannot find any way to put this
command on a toolbar. Specifically, one is supposed to select this sequence:
"Tools" menu, "Customize" option, "Commands" tab, "Table" Catagory, "Split
Table" command, then drag the "Split Table" command to the toolbar. But, no
"Split Table" Command exists! Even when I create a custom icon in "Rearrange
Commands", the option doesn't appear. Very frustrating.

How does one go about putting this particular command on a toolbar. Thanks
in advance for any help.

Thank you, Helmut. That is exactly what I was looking for. (I thought it
might be something simple like that).

Best regards.

FWIW, I usually find it easier to right-click and use Split Table on the
shortcut menu.

There are many shortcut menus; there are quite a few just for tables. But if
I just click in a cell, it is on the shortcut menu (it's not if I select a
row, however). It seems to be only on the Table Cell and Table Text shortcut
menus.

Default Adding "Split Table" to a toolbar

Suzanne:

None of the table-related shortcut menus on my installation of Word included
the "Split Table" command. However, I figured out how to add the command
using the "Tools/Customize" function. So now I can split a table from the
"Tables", "Whole Tables", "Table Text" and "Table Cell" shortcut menus. I
also have the command bound to the keyboard shortcut "Alt-S", so that whether
I'm using the mouse or the keyboard, I have a convenient way to use this
command.

Thanks for your suggestion, Suzanne, and to everyone else who helped.

It's possible I added the command to my shortcut menus, or it may be that
this is just a difference between versions. I know I did add some table
commands (notable the Vertical Alignment one) to some of those shortcut
menus, as it seemed I always had the wrong thing selected to get what I
wanted on the menu.
