Thanks, but:
1- I need the content of the merged cell to appear on every page.
2- Can I merge few groups of cells, like column 0 from row 5 to 20, and column 0 from row 30 to 70?
3- Is there a solution without Spire? I prefer only Interop

Try this solution with Free Spire.Doc.
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using Spire.Doc.Interface;

namespace test
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //load the Word file containing a table
            Document doc = new Document();
            doc.LoadFromFile(@"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\table.docx");

            //get the table
            ITable table = doc.Sections[0].Tables[0];

            //copy content to the first cell
            for (int i = 1; i < table.Rows.Count; i++)
            {
                table.Rows[0].Cells[0].Paragraphs.Add(table.Rows[i].Cells[0].Paragraphs[0]);
            }

            //vertially merge the cells within the first column
            table.ApplyVerticalMerge(0, 0, table.Rows.Count - 1);


            //save to file
            doc.SaveToFile("MergeCells.docx", FileFormat.Docx2013);
        }
    }
}
