Default How can I sort an Excel Doc containing merged & non-merged cel

Getting rid of merged cells does NOT cause any loss of data.

Merging cells will cause loss of data.

and didn't merge any cells. didn't even know there were any merged cells
until I had entered ALL the data and tried to sort.

I have a doc that contains both merged and unmerged cells and need to be able
to sort it alphabetically. When I try, I get a message saying that all
merged cells need to be sized identically. I have tried resizing the cells,
but this does not solve the problem. Any suggestions?
