You can do this with a TextTableCursor. You can see the methods available to the cursor here. Here is some code for a document I made that contains just one table. The cursor is created in cell A2, is expanded one cell to the right and one cell down, so it cover A2:B3. That range is then merged.

Code: Select all

oDoc = ThisComponent
oTables = oDoc.TextTables
oTable = oTables.getByIndex(0)
Curs = oTable.createCursorByCellName("A2")
Curs.goRight(1,True)
Curs.goDown(1,True)
Curs.mergeRange()
