Merge Cells

GemBox.Document supports merged cells in the same way as HTML - every table cell contains RowSpan and ColumnSpan properties.

Following example demonstrates how to create a table with merged cells (RowSpan and / or ColumnSpan greater than 1).

See the full code below, use Run Example to execute.
