New Post: colspan

To clarify, it seems like I'm losing the "GridSpan" element in the OpenXML:

<w:gridSpan w:val="3"/>

The "old way" of setting this works for me:

            int? colspan = en.Attributes.GetAsInt("colspan");
            if (colspan.HasValue && colspan.Value > 1)
            {
                styleAttributes.Add(new GridSpan() { Val = colspan });
            }

But in the latest build this code doesn't seem to set the colspan for me:

            int? colspan = en.Attributes.GetAsInt("colspan");
            if (colspan.HasValue && colspan.Value > 1)
            {
                properties.GridSpan = new GridSpan() { Val = colspan };
                tables.IndexColumn += colspan.Value - 1;
            }
