Actually in most cases you can make the sheet look like it has merged cells,
Assume you want a 5 column header, type the header in the leftmost
cell of those 5, then select all 5 cells and then do formatcellsalignment
and from the
horizontal text alignment dropdown select "Center across selection"

I agree with Bob, I even wish they would remove the option
of having merged cells. If you have to audit and redesign spreadsheets
with lots of merged cells then you tend to look upon them
as the Devil's spawn

Thanks, Bob. That's too bad.

Yes, merged cells cause plenty of grief, it's typically recommended
here to not use them.
