Hello, I am trying to merge multiple cells and have found that I can do thi easily by selecting the adjancent row cells and using the TABLE - MERGE CELLS command. However, If I want to apply the same merge to multiple rows, I can find noquick way to do this other than selecting each set of cells and using the TABLE - MERGE CELLS command each time. Here is an example of what I want to do: Here is the Numbers spreadsheet as normal: Here is cell B2 and C2 merged: Now what I want to do is the same process for rows 3 to 10. However, when I try to select the section and use the TABLE - MERGE CELLS command, I get on large cell rather than split rows of merged cells as seen below: Any idea how I can or if I can accomplish this task? Thanks in advance, OriginalGumshoe.

Here is a much simpler AppleScript that will do exactly what you ask: tell application 'Microsoft Excel' if (count columns of selection) is less than 2 then return set selrows to rows of selection repeat with arow in selrows merge arow end repeat end tell You can place the script in the folder '/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/Excel Script Menu Items' to have access to it through Excel's AppleScript menu.
