[mso] Inserting columns when cells are merged

I'm sure that this question has been asked before, but I've been unable to
find the answer.
We use tables in Word a lot. We sometimes merge cells in a row to make the
text flow across multiple columns. Of
course, once the cells are merged, the boss wants to add another column. What
are the tricks to get the column
into the table without having the vertical borders off plum? Everything we
try (short of splitting all the merged
cells) results in the vertical borders being unconnected.
Is there any documentation on the rules for tables? Should we be doing the
tables in Excel and inserting into
Word? The problem with using Excel is that some of our tables are several
pages in length.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
