Hi,

Anyone up to this scripting challenge? I know better than to start as I'll use up tons of time knocking my head against improper syntax, structure, etc.

1) User selects 2 rows of a table; we'll call them row A (top) and row B.
2) Script merges each vertical pair of cells in those 2 rows, i.e. row 1A with 1B, 2A with 2B, etc. (where the numbers refer to the column).

This would be a real timesaver, as otherwise I need to select each pair of cells separately and apply the Merge command.

Many thanks,

Aaron
