Hi, I'm trying to automate the merging of pairs of cells in a table. Here's the structure:

- given 2 adjacent selected rows...
- tell the first cell of row 1 to merge with the cell below it (1st cell of row 2)
- continue until all pairs are merged.

My table has 10 columns, so I would start with a selection of 20 cells, and end up with 10 cells.

I'm stuck on the 'merge' syntax, for which i can't find any examples anywhere! Although i did get a successful merge by selecting 2 cells and, in ScriptMaker, telling the selection to "merge".

Any help appreciated!

Aaron
