To add the splitter between the textedit and the range of tables you can
simply select the textedit, click on the "Break Layout" button in the
toolbar and then select the textedit and the existing horizontal
splitter and click on the "Lay Out Vertically in Splitter" button in the
toolbar. Last select the centralwidget in the object-tree and set a
normal layout on that one so the content again resizes properly when you
resize the mainwindow.
