Default Merge Cells in Word 2003

Select one row at a time and merge it. If you need to do this often, you may
want to try the following macro:

Sub MergeRowByRow()
On Error GoTo errhandler
Dim t As Table
Dim r As Row
For Each r In Selection.Tables(1).Rows
r.Cells.Merge
Next r
errhandler:
Exit Sub
End Sub

If you need assistance, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.

Hi All,

I have a table in word 2003 with 6 columns and multiple rows. When I
select
the entire table to merge the rows of this table it will combine all the
cells (Columns+Rows) into one cell.

The position of table as follow:

R1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6
R2 --- --- --- --- ---
R3 --- --- --- --- ---
R4 --- --- --- --- ---

Results Needed:
Only columns are merge with leftmost cell of the table and rows are not
merge with them.
R1C2C3C4C5C6
R2---------------
R3---------------
R4---------------

Thanks in advance.
