Problem reading a TABLE in MS WORD

Hi ,

I am writing a macro which converts a MS WORD table into particular format. I need to retain the structure of the table while doing so.
The main problem is that if a row consists of a merged cell then there is no means to identify this at runtime. If a merged cell has occured in the input table i need to place a identifier for the same in the output....

Could anyone please let me know how can i achive this ?

Thanks
