This seems to work:



tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" 
	set myTable to parent of selection 
	tell myTable 
		repeat with i from 1 to (count columns) 
			set myFirstCell to i & ":1" as text 
			set mySecondCell to i & ":2" as text 
			merge (cells myFirstCell thru mySecondCell) 
		end repeat 
	end tell 
end tell



It assumes you have one or more cells selected in the table you want to affect. Effect? I always get those confused.

If you want it to be less picky about what you have selected, I can work on that, maybe tomorrow because I just got busy. (yippee!)
