Use a third column, with the formula =B8&C8

If you want a space between the two use =B8&" "&C8

This is typically pretty easy to manipulate in any way that you want.
If you need more than two columns or a guide to walk you through it,
just look for the function 'concatenate" by clicking the fx in the
formula bar or by going Insert-function. This will walk you through how
to use the formula and will make sure that the syntax is correct.
