Dave,
I would say that most experienced programmers avoid using merged cells.
They became experienced by using merged cells.
"Center Across Selection" does the same as merging in most cases...
Worksheets(2).Range("D1:M100").HorizontalAlignment = xlCenterAcrossSelection

Hi,
Does anyone out there know how to modify Chip Pearson's (excellent)
Hilite code so that it will work in merged columns D-M to highlight the
active cell but then not affect any other columns when the acctive cell
is outside thos columns?
TIA,
Dave
