In MS Word 2010, changing the width of a merged cell is a bit tricksy.
Imagine a simple 2 x 2 table. The cells of the top row are merged, the cells of the second row are not.
If the cursor in placed in Cell(2, 1) (Using Word indices) and the width is changed, then the width of the top row will be changed to match that of the "Active" cell.
If, however, the selection is extended to include the "End of Row" hidden character, then change only affects the selected cell, as intended.
Does anyone know how to replicate this behaviour in VBA?

Turns out that if you use Cell.Select
then the behaviour is as I wanted:
With Selection.Table(1)
.Cell(1, 1).Select
.Selection.Cells.Width = MillimetersToPoints(150)
.Cell(2, 1).Select
.Selection.Cells.Width = MillimetersToPoints(150)
.Cell(3, 1).Select
.Selection.Cells.Width = MillimetersToPoints(50)
.Cell(3, 2).Select
.Selection.Cells.Width = MillimetersToPoints(100)
End With
