Merge Table Rows
The following example merges two table rows into one. The corresponding columns will be connected by adding the
second cell’s value to the first one (strings put together separated by comma). The zone of the new cell will be the
surrounding rectangle of the individual zones.
It is assumed that the table field has three columns named “Description”, “SinglePrice” and “TotalPrice”. Whenever
there is a table row that has only the “Description” filled, it shall be merged with the preceeding one.
For shortness, this example does not care about the cell’s state. Also, it is assumed that the first row always is a “full”
row.
