Can't copy & paste - "merged cells must be identically sized"
I have a spreadsheet with three rows of IDENTICALLY SIZED merged cells
consisting of 1 row and 2 columns, stacked in rows. The row height for all three rows is 40. The column widths a D, 26.57 E, 5.14. The three cells represent the top three issues on a summary sheets and so the contents frequently move up and down. I cannot copy and paste. Whenever I try, it says "This operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized". But they are identically sized! What else could it be referring to other than the row height and column widths? Is there some other property Excel wants me to make equal that it calls "size"? |

Rayo Merged cell sizes refers to the number of cells that are merged together eg a1 to c1, a1 to d4 If you try and paste into an area that has merged cells and what you are copying is not the same or larger size than the meged cells then you will get the error message that you are getting -- mudraker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mudraker's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2473 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=521976 |

All three merged cells each consist of exactly two cells merged together.
