In second column, i can’t merge because its affects the first column

builder.InsertCell();
builder.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = CellMerge.First;
builder.Write("Text in merged cells.");
builder.InsertCell();
// This cell is merged to the previous and should be empty.
builder.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = CellMerge.Previous;
builder.EndRow();
builder.InsertCell();

Hi Narendran,

Thanks for your inquiry. If you want to merge cells vertically, please use CellFormat.VerticalMerge property as shown below.

If you still face problem, please share your expected output document here for our reference. We will then provide you more information about your query along with code.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.InsertCell();
builder.CellFormat.VerticalMerge = CellMerge.First;
builder.Write("Text in merged cells.");
builder.InsertCell();
builder.CellFormat.VerticalMerge = CellMerge.None;
builder.Write("Text in one cell");
builder.EndRow();
builder.InsertCell();
// This cell is vertically merged to the cell above and should be empty.
builder.CellFormat.VerticalMerge = CellMerge.Previous;
builder.InsertCell();
builder.CellFormat.VerticalMerge = CellMerge.None;
builder.Write("Text in another cell");
builder.EndRow();
builder.EndTable(); 
doc.Save(MyDir + "Out.docx");
