How to read merged cell from word document

Question

I am getting the below exception while reading the merged cell.

"Cannot access individual rows in this collection because the table has vertically merged cells."

My code is,

{
   foreach (Cell aCell in aRow.Cells)
   {
       MessageBox.Show(aCell.Range.Text);
   }
}

// My table format is..

You could try the following:

Table table = Globals.ThisDocument.Tables[1];
Range range = table.Range;
for (int i = 1; i <= range.Cells.Count; i++)
{
    if(range.Cells[i].RowIndex == table.Rows.Count)
    {
        range.Cells[i].Range.Text = range.Cells[i].RowIndex + ":" + range.Cells[i].ColumnIndex;
        MessageBox.Show(range.Cells[i].Range.Text);
    }
}

Table.Range.Cells can be enumerated:

foreach (Cell cell in doc.Tables[i].Range.Cells)
{
    Debug.Print(cell.Range.Text);
}
