Ctrl + 1 will get you to the format cells window but I don't know of a
keyboard shortcut for merge. However, in Excel 2000 (don't know about other
versions)there's button on the formatting toolbar to 'merge and center' (it
is to the right of the 'align text' buttons). Simply highlight the cells and
click.
