What if you leave A1 Empty and C1 Empty and Write a long string of text in B1 and Center align it? Can you make the Text appear in A1 and C1. (I'm trying to make a gradient of colors across several cells and I want the text to be over multiple cells but I can not merge them.)

overlap into B1 -- as long as A1 isn't formatted to wrap text.

I would like text to overlap adjacent cell(s).

How can I select that attribute?
