I couldn't agree more with regard to the problems that Merge Cells can give
you. I guess it really depends on what the OP wants to do with the data in
the columns and how he would like the headings to be presented. "Centre
across" does what it says on the box ... which does limit the formatting
options. May be a matter of taste.

Anyway, two options now.

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

How do I combine two row headings while keeping the actual rows
separate?
