If you adjust the column widths when you hide the borders, it would like (almost) like an ordinary paragraph, but I realize of course that it wouldn't be perfect.

Merging cells, as you have seen, introduces returns (paragraph marks), so that wouldn't be much better.

I'm thinking that starting with a table and then converting it to text could work. In the process, tab characters would be added, but these can be replaced with spaces. If you could figure out what would suit you the best, maybe it would be possible to create a macro that does the (re-)formatting automatically.
