Problem with merging cells horizontally and vertically at the same time using actxserver in Word

7 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
I try to handle the Word with my MATLAB script. I tried to insert a new table and merge cells like on the following example:
Using actxserver and base commands I'm able to insert blank table and merge cells like for Header 1 or for Header 2, but I'm not able to do this operation at the same time. There is an error telling I've already merged some cells e.x. horizontally and I'm not now able to do it vertically. Is there any walkaround to obtain results like on the picture above?
Thanks for help.

Doing same as here:
https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/402295-create-and-fill-in-a-table-in-microsoft-word-with-actx-server-from-matlab
%wtable: a word table object
%rowidx: scalar, the row on which the two cells to merge are. 1-based
%colidx: two element array, the two columns to merge on the row. 1-based
trow = wtable.Rows.Item(rowidx);
trow.Cells.Item(colidx(1)).Merge(trow.Cells.Item(colidx(2)))
tcol = wtable.Columns.Item(colidx);
tcol.Cells.Item(rowidx(1)).Merge(tcol.Cells.Item(rowidx(2)))
