Hi all,

I'm trying to convert .docx documents to .rst with Pandoc. The tool correctly converts 'simple' tables. However when a table contains merged cells, it looks like the generated markup is incorrect.

For example, a 3x3 table in Word document is correctly converted to this:

+-----+-----+-----+    
| A   | B   | C   |    
+=====+=====+=====+    
| D   | E   | F   |    
+-----+-----+-----+    
| G   | H   | I   |    
+-----+-----+-----+    

while, when I merge the cells on the top row, generated markup is malformed:

+-----+-----+-----+ 
| A   |             
|     |             
| B   |             
|     |             
| C   |             
+=====+=====+=====+ 
| D   | E   | F   | 
+-----+-----+-----+ 
| G   | H   | I   | 
+-----+-----+-----+

Is this a known bug? Can anyone suggest me some practical way to overcome this (i.e. some configuration change or patch)?

Best regards,
