Hi, be aware that merged cells are nothing but trouble if you want to use them to retrieve data or whatever. Except for cosmetic purposes avoid them if possible. You can try to format horizontal - Center across selection -- Pecoflyer Cheers - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pecoflyer's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=14 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...d.php?t=104489 |

Merging cells in a Protected Sheet
There are some things that aren't available in protected worksheets.
Merging cells is in that group. If you really, really want to (I wouldn't!), maybe you could provide a macro that: unprotects the sheet merges the cells you want merged reprotects the sheet Protect Sheet but be able to merge cells wrote: Does anyone know how to Merge cells once you have protected a sheet?

Merging cells in a Protected Sheet
Hi,
The basic macro would be Sub MyMerge() ActiveSheet.Unprotect Selection.Merge ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True End Sub If you have a password then check the VBA Help for Unprotect or Protect. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.
