Description rogerathome 2002-10-14 22:58:31 UTC 
It is not possible to merge a set of rows or a set of columns if a matrix of
cells is selected. I often use merging nor OO nor Excel supports this one.
Shouldn't be too difficult.
Furthermore would a dropdown Merge button then be nice for the toolbar (merge
Rows (default), Merge Colums)

Hi Bettina, one4you

There´s > Format > Merge Cells for both a matrix of highlighted cells
(i.e. a number of n x m adjacent cells) and a set of highlighted rows
or columns. So I´m not sure whether I understand your enhancement
correctly.

The idea behind this enhancement is that you merge a number of rows or
columns in one action. Of cource you can select a nxm matrix of cells
but then you can only merge it in one cell and not into n x 1 rows or
1 * m columns... You don't want to do this by hand for say 50 columns
of 5 row cells...

I see. Confirmed.
