search for merged cells

[Carol]

does anyone know how i can search for merged fields? I
get an error message that word can't sort my table
because somewhere in it i have a merged field. or else,
what's the best way to find a merged field in a HUGE
table? thanks!

Method 1: Split the table in the middle. Try sorting each half: the half it
fails on has the merged cell. Repeat until you've got a table small enough
to check visually.

Method 2: Adjust the column widths. Rows with merged cells may go obviously
haywire.

Method 3: Use VBA. Iterate the cells checking the RowIndex and ColumnIndex
properties.
