Strongly suggest that since there is the intent to keep the 2 *columns* as
separate entities, implying individual calculations and/or data, "Center
Across Selection" is the *preferred* method, instead of "Merge Cells".

<Format <Cells <Alignment tab,
Expand the "Horizontal" window, and select,
"CenterAcrossSelection", <OK.

Merge Cells will create various problems when the individual columns are to
be "worked" on; (i.e ... try sorting them).

Look at Merge Cells

First, select the cells and then:

Format | Cells... | Alignment | under Text control, select Merge Cells
