Hi
I have the following code to merge two cells in table

private void HorizontallyMergeCells(Aspose.Words.Tables.Cell firstCell, Aspose.Words.Tables.Cell secondCell)
{
    firstCell.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = Aspose.Words.Tables.CellMerge.First;
    foreach(Node child in secondCell.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Run, true))
       firstCell.LastParagraph.AppendChild(child);
    secondCell.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = Aspose.Words.Tables.CellMerge.Previous;
}

And i called the method like as follows

HorizontallyMergeCells(row.Cells[0], row.Cells[1]);

Hi Ajeesh,

Thanks for the additional information. Sure, you can achieve this by using the following code snippet:

Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\Input.docx");
Table tab = doc.FirstSection.Body.Tables[0];
for (int i = 1; i <tab.Rows.Count; i++)
{
    for (int j = 0; j <3; j++)
    {
        Cell cell = tab.Rows[i].Cells[j];
        if (j == 0)
            cell.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = CellMerge.First;
        else
            cell.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = CellMerge.Previous;
    }
}
doc.Save(@"C:\temp\out.docx");

I hope, this helps.
