Table with merged cells

[Robie]

Hi

Is there any way to determine if some cells in a table are merged under VBA (if possible)? For example, if I select a table under VBA is there a way to determine if it contains merged cells?

Thanks.

See this page.
Two macro options to locate merged cells half way down the page...

Hi Rudi,

That page is for Excel. Robie's question is about Word...

Oops...sorry, I didn't notice the forum Robie was posting in!

According to Hans, checking for merged cells in a Word table is not really possible except for a "for what it's worth..."

You could test the table with code like:
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Uniform
where 1 is the table #. If the table contains merged cells, or different width columns, the result will be False.

Thanks Paul. I will give this one a go.

Thanks Rudi and Hans for trying at least.

I am going to try Macropod's suggestion to see if it works.
