Word 97 macro to select and join cells

J

Joanne

I want to write a simple macro that will select the first
cell in a row of a table, merge it with the second cell,
then move down a row and do the same thing. Once it has
finished with the last row, it should stop. For the life
of me, I can't get this thing to work. Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance.

get it working the way you want.

Just place the cursor anywhere in the table and run this macro:
(I was having fun with this so I added all kinds of checks and message
boxes.)

By adding another "For... / Next..." you could "easily" modify the code so
that it can act on all tables in the selection...
'_______________________________________

Dim StartRange As Range
Dim TwoCellRange As Range
Dim TableRange As Range
Dim i As Long
Dim OneCell As Boolean

OneCell = False
Set StartRange = Selection.Range

'In case selection spans more than one table, we
'will assume that user wants to act on first table
'in selection

With StartRange
If .Tables.Count > 0 Then
Set TableRange = .Tables(1).Range
Else
MsgBox "No table selected.", vbExclamation, _
"Action cancelled"
Exit Sub
End If
End With

With TableRange
For i = 1 To .Rows.Count
If .Rows(i).Cells.Count > 1 Then
Set TwoCellRange = .Rows(i).Cells(1).Range
TwoCellRange.End = .Rows(i).Cells(2).Range.End
TwoCellRange.Cells.Merge
Else
OneCell = True
End If
Next i
End With

If OneCell Then
MsgBox "Some (or all) the rows in the selected " _
& "table contain only 1 cell and were not " _
& "merged.", vbInformation, "One-Cell row(s)"""
End If

StartRange.Select

End Sub
