Hi Experts,

I have a Word Macro that I wrote that is supposed to count the number of rows in Column 1 of this table, as some are merged the usual table.rows.count doesn't work.
Any suggestions as to why I get a Debug Error when "only stop on unhandled errors" is selected at the line marked *, when I get to row 4, when in column 1 there are actually only 3 rows, due to merging.  I know why the error occurs, I don't know how to handle it so it doesn't stop.

Code:
Function fMergedRows() As String
On Error GoTo Err_handler
   
Dim tbl As Table
Dim i As Integer
Dim strComma As String
Dim strMergedRows As String

    Set tbl = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
   
    strComma = ""
   
    For i = 1 To tbl.Rows.Count
        Debug.Print tbl.Cell(i, 1).Creator
        fMergedRows = fMergedRows & strComma & i
        strComma = ","
        Debug.Print fMergedRows
ErrBack:
    Next i
   
Exit Function
Err_handler:
    GoTo ErrBack

End Function
