In MS Excel, when we merge cells, content of only one cell exists.

But is MS word, in a table, we can merger any number of cells without
removing content of any cell.

If this feature is dependant on certain settings, please let me know.

Otherwise, it will be good to introduce this functionality in MS Excel also.
