Hi there,

I’m going to add a table to a Word file with some merged cells and then I need to put an image inside one of the merged cells.
I was wondering how to calculate the spanning cell width in order to get the image with the correct size inserted inside the cell?
I attached a word file showing the expected output.

Thanks,

There is no column concept in MS Word’s table. By Microsoft Word design, rows in a table in a Microsoft Word document are completely independent. It means each row can have any number of cells of any width. So, if you imagine first row with one wide cell and second row with two narrow cells, then looking at this document the cell in the first row will appear horizontally merged. But it is not a merged cell; it is just a single wide cell.

Another perfectly valid scenario is when the first row has two cells. First cell has CellMerge.First and second cell has CellMerge.Previous, in this case it is a merged cell. In both cases, the visual appearance in MS Word is exactly the same. Both cases are valid.
