Bug with cell merging in tables using Applescript
Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Once you have merged cells in a table in Word 2008 using Applescript, any further reference to the table's cells in the script produce an error. <br><br>As an example, open Word 2008 and run this script: <br>
tell application "Microsoft Word" <br>
make new table at active document with properties {number of rows:4, number of columns:4} <br>
set mytable to table 1 of active document <br>
merge cell (cell 1 of row 1 of mytable) with (cell 1 of row 2 of mytable) <br>
merge cell (cell 1 of row 3 of mytable) with (cell 1 of row 4 of mytable)	 <br>
end tell <br><br>The script inserts a 4x4 table, merges the left hand cells of rows 1 and 2 as it should, then fails with error "Microsoft Word got an error: The object you are trying to access does not exist" number -1728 from cell 1 of row 3 of table 1 of active document. <br><br>Any reference to a cell made in an Applescript after merging cells will produce the error. For example substituting "select (cell 3 of row 3 of mytable)" for the last line of the script produces the same error on running the script. <br><br>Is this a bug or am I missing something?

AFAICS you cannot reference row objects within a table once you have
merged cells in a column and you cannot reference column objects once
you have merge two cells in a row.
You can however do this:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
make new table at active document with properties {number of rows:4,
number of columns:4}
set mytextobj to text object of table 1 of active document
merge cell (cell 1 of mytextobj) with (cell 5 of mytextobj)
merge cell (cell 9 of mytextobj) with (cell 13 of mytextobj)
end tell
but you will obviously need to keep track of how the cell numbers change
as you go along!
(FWIW I do not know whether you would get this problem with rows etc. in
Word 2004 + VBA or the Windows version of Word)

I'm going to stick my neck way out on the chopping block here and suggest
that you are destroying the object you are trying to reference.
When you "set mytable to table 1..." you have set a reference to an area in
memory.
Then when you do the merge, the shape of the table changes in memory and the
object is destroyed.
I am guessing (guessing!!) that if you re-write the code without the
"set..." statement, it will work (very slowly!) because then you will have
to resolve cell 1 of row 1 of mytable table 1 of active document on each
iteration.
I seem to remember that Word has an issue with cells in rows in a table.
You may be better to address the cell directly (cell 11 of table 1).
Hope this helps

I tried Peter's script and the second merge was't quite right - it merged cells in rows 3 and 4 of column 2, rather than column 1. From what you both say, it looked like the first merge altered the numbering of cells below the merge, thereby causing the second merge to go wrong. <br><br>I reversed the order of the merges in the script, so that the first merge was at the bottom of the table and the second was at the top and achieved merging of the cells in the left-hand column as I wanted. <br><br>Thanks for solving this one so quickly! I'll use cell numbering and the bottom to top order of merging in future.

So when someone from IT enters a calendar event, the whole IT team ge...

problem using tab
When I hit the tab button the selection jumps several columns over instead of going to the next column. What's strange is that this seems to happen only on one computer in the network and not on the others. The document is shared so I think it is maybe the formatting for that computer's excel. Does anyone know what is going on? Hi Tools > Options > Transition, uncheck "transision navigation keys". HTH.

Change data from one cell to another cell
How can I automatically change data entered in cell A1 (32454521) into a dollar amount in cell A2 ($16.25)? Thanks for your guidance! Since you don't give much detail, my GUESS is that this is some part number and you want to lookup the price.

Mail Merge Publisher 20002 with Outlook 2000 Fails
I have Publisher 2002 and can not get Publisher to recognize Outlook 2000 files.I am getting the error message of Unable to obtain list of tables from data source. The trouble shooting help says that data source may be busy. However when using Word 97, mail merge works fine. In Word I can see that the file type for the Outlook file is *.olk. However Pulisher does not appear to recognize this file type, scanned Open Data source file types. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks, Rick ...
