Is there ANYWAY to determine the width of a table that has merged columns?  
Jean-Guy showed a way to get the table width for a table without merged
columns, however I have many users that like to create tables with merged
columns.

The preferredwidth property returns 99999 if the table is merged and the
column width returns an error.

I am copy and pasting the merged table as a nested table and I need to know
if the table is wider than 1 column in page layout to auto size the new table
to either fit in 1 column or spread it across the whole page.
