I need to validate the structure of a Word table in a document using VBA. For example, assume there is a 4x4 table with the middle 4 cells merged I need to determine for EVERY cell:
the staring ABSOLUTE row, column,
the number of horizontal merged cells,
the number of vertical merged cells

With this I can determine if the table is the correct format and in what cell I will find the information I need to extract for the rest of the process.

The merged cells would report:
row 2, column 2, vertical 2, horizontal 2

The next cell on row 2 would report:
row 2, column 4, vertical 1, horizontal 1

I have tried the .Information() options, .Rowindex, etc. But to no avail.

Help!
