Hi TheEwook,
I use the Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library (MSWORD.OLB) to parse a
MSWord document into a XML document.
My problem is how to know in a table that a cell is merge ? And if this
cell is merge how to know which cells are merge ?
In my XML document I use colspan and rowspan in TD/TR for merge
cells.
I recommend you use the XML property to get the WordProcessingML, then
transform that into your own XML. There's no really good way, using
Word's object model, to determine whether a Word table contains merged
cells, and in what way they're merged relative to the other cells in the
table. But the round-trip HTML and the WordProcessingML do contain this
information.
An alternative would be to copy just the table to another document, save
it as a "web page", then extract the HTML from that.
