Please call Table.convertToHorizontallyMergedCells method as shown below to convert cells horizontally merged by width to cells merged by HorizontalMerge.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "input.docx");
Table table = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getTables().get(0);
table.convertToHorizontallyMergedCells();
for (Row row : table.getRows()) {
    for (Cell cell : row.getCells()) {
        System.out.println(printCellMergeType(cell));
    }
}

public static String printCellMergeType(Cell cell) {
    boolean isHorizontallyMerged = cell.getCellFormat().getHorizontalMerge() != CellMerge.NONE;
    boolean isVerticallyMerged = cell.getCellFormat().getVerticalMerge() != CellMerge.NONE;
    String cellLocation =
            MessageFormat.format("R{0}, C{1}", cell.getParentRow().getParentTable().indexOf(cell.getParentRow()) + 1, cell.getParentRow().indexOf(cell) + 1);

    if (isHorizontallyMerged && isVerticallyMerged)
        return MessageFormat.format("The cell at {0} is both horizontally and vertically merged", cellLocation);
    if (isHorizontallyMerged)
        return MessageFormat.format("The cell at {0} is horizontally merged.", cellLocation);

    return isVerticallyMerged ? MessageFormat.format("The cell at {0} is vertically merged", cellLocation) : MessageFormat.format("The cell at {0} is not merged", cellLocation);
}

thanks for the awesome information.
