>Question: so are you saying that as long as my range starts at the beginning of the first cell and ends at the end of the 2nd cell that I can then safely merge them? I am familiar with working with ranges in the "text" of a document, just not so familiar with the table stuff.

Albert,

MS Word object model considers document as a text having RANGE, and range always starts and ends somewhere. In case of Word table you can also use other options if possible.

As of your second question, then Word is less sensitive to this issue than Excel. So, if you are comfortable with what you are doing, and you do not experience problems with your approach, then just keep in mind what I said.
