Pat,

why do you need to split a cell? What data does it contain and what do you
need to do with these data?

 Hi Guys,
Is there any way to split a primary (one that has not been 'merged'
 previously) cell?  I can't seem to find such an option. If there is no
 current option then is it technically possible to do so?

Nino, I am creating a geological time-line in Calc. Working across the
sheet I am dividing the cells into periods. There are five different sets
of periods. I find, after I have started, that I need to create smaller
units than one cell. If I could split this cell it would work for me.
Otherwise I need to evaluate the whole time line and provisionally merge
columns in the right place in order to be able to merge the ones I need at
a later stage.

Sorry, I'm not a geologist, so a geological time-line does not say
anything to me.

What do your cells contain? Could you give an example?

See, you have your spreadsheet in mind but I/we do not know how it looks
like. So it is difficult to help.

You could also upload a screenshot somewhere and post the link here, this
could help to understand the problem.

I think the 'Insert Cell' (CTRL +) functionality can/should be used for that
