Default Insert Row and keep merged cells formatting

I have a spreadsheet with several merged cells in a row. When I insert a new
row, it copies all the formatting of the row above or below into the new row
except that of the merged cells, e.g. the merged cell is once again broken
down into 2 cells. Is there a way that the merged cells can automatically be
copied over to the new row when I insert a row without having to use format
painter, etc.?

Default Insert Row and keep merged cells formatting

CK

The only way I seem to be able to keep the cells merged in the new row,
other than using the formatting paintbrush, is to copy the row that has the
merged cell, then right click on the row number bar (on the left of the
worksheet) and select insert copied row.

Hope this helps.
