Thread: Merged cells in Powerpoint

Each cell in a Table refers to the Shape object. This object is the same for
merged cells and is different for separate cells. So, if a 5x5 table is
selected and cell (3,3) and (3,4) are merged, the following returns True:

With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).Table
MsgBox .Cell(3, 4).Shape Is .Cell(3, 3).Shape
End With

Once you have a reference to the table shape, you don't have to select the
shape or any cell to know whether the cells have been merged.
