David is right. The line should be

        _docx_table_mod_cell_table(dh, tid, i, 1, 0, tids[i-1])

instead of

        _docx_table_mod_cell_table(dh, tid, i, 1, 0, tids[i-1], 0)

There is another line which also needs to be changed for the example to
run successfully.  The code line right after the paragraph "Now we can 
combine
them with the header and bottom three rows." should be

        tid = _docx_new_table(dh, cols(mr_table)+4, 2)

instead of

        id = _docx_new_table(dh, cols(mr_table)+4, 2)

We will fix these errors in both the help file and the PDF documentation
in the next update.
