Provided that the table matches exactly i.e. the same number of merged cells in each segment then the following should work
Sub Macro1()
Dim oTable As Table
Dim oCell As Range, sText
Dim i As Integer
Set oTable = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
For i = oTable.Columns(1).Cells.Count To 2 Step -1
oTable.Columns(1).Cells(i).Split 4, 1
Next i
For i = 2 To oTable.Rows.Count
Set oCell = oTable.Rows(i).Cells(1).Range
oCell.End = oCell.End - 1
If Len(oCell) > 1 Then
sText = oTable.Rows(i).Cells(1).Range.Text
Else
oCell.Text = sText
oCell.Text = Replace(oCell.Text, Chr(13), "")
End If
Next i
lbl_Exit:
Set oTable = Nothing
Set oCell = Nothing
Exit Sub
End Sub
