    Hi rebekah_reveile ,

    You can try following approaches:

    1.You can try to select the cells by holding the left mouse button and then dragging the cursor through the cells which need to be merged .This will highlight the cells. After this You can use the merge cells option as mentioned by you.(click Table > Cell > Merge Cells).

    2. If your team is not comfortable with using the editor, you can create the table in Google spreadsheet  and try copying the table(Simply selecting the required section from spreadsheet and then pasting it in editor), this may reduce the effort to merge cells in the editor

    Hope this helps!!!

It's interesting that this worked this time, since it wasn't working on Friday. However, this morning when I gave it a shot, it worked. 

One minor downside is that it wasn't clear which cells I'd highlighted, since in my browser didn't properly highlight each cell. 

For now, I'm going to mark this question as closed, since I have a working solution at this time. If this comes up again, I'll reopen my question. Thanks for your help, Tarun!
