// Use a cell's "CellFormat" property to set formatting that modifies the appearance of that cell.
firstCell.CellFormat.Width = 30;

Shows how to combine the rows from two tables into one.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Tables.docx");

// Below are two ways of getting a table from a document.
// 1 -  From the "Tables" collection of a Body node:
Table firstTable = doc.FirstSection.Body.Tables[0];

// 2 -  Using the "GetChild" method:
Table secondTable = (Table)doc.GetChild(NodeType.Table, 1, true);

// Append all rows from the current table to the next.
while (secondTable.HasChildNodes)
    firstTable.Rows.Add(secondTable.FirstRow);

// Remove the empty table container.
secondTable.Remove();
