Merge Cells Activity

The Merge Cells activity enables users to combine multiple cells within a specified table in a Microsoft Word document. This activity streamlines document formatting by consolidating content from several cells into a single, larger cell.

Field	Description	Requirement
Word name	The reference name of the Word document object where cells will be merged. This document must already be opened or created.	Required
Table Index	The 1-based index of the target table within the Word document where cells will be merged.	Required
Range	The specific table cell range to merge, using A1-style notation (e.g., `A1:C5`). Column indexes range from A to Z, and row indexes from 1 upwards.	Required
With all data	If selected, all data from the original cells is concatenated into the merged cell. If deselected, only the data from the top-leftmost cell is retained.	Optional

Technical Notes

The Table Index parameter uses 1-based indexing, where 1 refers to the first table in the document. The Range parameter accepts A1-style cell references; column identifiers are alphabetical (A-Z), and row identifiers are numerical (1-N). When With all data is enabled, the content from all merged cells is combined into the resulting single cell. If disabled, only the content of the top-leftmost cell in the specified range is preserved.
