Answer 1

private static void mergeCellHorizontally(XWPFTable table, int row, int fromCell, int toCell){
    for(int cellIndex = fromCell; cellIndex <= toCell; cellIndex++){
        XWPFTableCell cell = table.getRow(row).getCell(cellIndex);
        if(cellIndex == fromCell){
            // The first merged cell is set with RESTART merge value
            cell.getCTTc().addNewTcPr().addNewHMerge().setVal(STMerge.RESTART);
        }else{
            // Cells which join (merge) the first one, are set with CONTINUE
            cell.getCTTc().addNewTcPr().addNewHMerge().setVal(STMerge.CONTINUE);
        }
    }
