How to determine the merged columns and rows in a table
Thanks a lot.

I'm assuming this isn't Word 2003, otherwise you wouldn't have to do a conversion, you could just pick up the XML direclty... No, there's not really any RELIABLE way to pick up which cells are merged. The approach you mention in your first post is the only way. You have to figure out how many columns/rows the table SHOULD have, then "walk" all the cells. If a column or row number repeats, then a cell is merged. But things can get tricky when you try to "walk" the cells, as you can end up repeatedly in the same cell (endless loop). And the whole thing can only work if you know which column and which row will NEVER have merged cells so that you can determine what the total rows and columns for the table should be.
