Corrections

Granted, I am using a 10 year old computer.
Yes, I will get another computer, indeed, I intend to build the critter
and
purchased Win XP Pro SP@ on 15 April.

SP@ should be SP2.

In any case, any ideas on how to speed up the code below.
On my old PC, it takes about 1 second to exceute the code for a cell
merged
area.

"cell merged" should be "2 cell merged".
