PC help: Feel the merge

Although it is not technically possible to merge cells in a Microsoft Works spreadsheet in quite the same way as it is in Excel, there is something of a workaround available.

If a title needs to span several columns, for example, start by typing the relevant text into the far-left cell of the row in question.

Now select all of the cells the title should span and open the Format menu and select Alignment. In the lower portion of the dialogue box, select the option labelled ‘Center across selection’ and click on OK.
