sorting merged cell question
When I try to sort a spreadsheet I get a message that says "The operation
requires the merged cells to be identically sized". What does this mean? -- Connie |

sorting merged cell question
It means you have one or more sections of merged cells in the sort area.
When you get the error message click on "Show help" to get a couple of suggestions. Merged cells cause no end of problems with sorting, copying, pasting, filtering and a host of other functions I can't remember off-hand. My suggestion.....find the merged cells and un-merge them. CTRL + a(twice in 2003) and FormatCellsAlignment. Uncheck the "merge cells" option.
