Where exactly does the unselection happen? Again, here is a detailed procedure of what works for me. Please specify the step where it fails for you: A.) with the dialog: 1. Insert a table 5x5 2. Select cell 1 and 2 in the first row with the mouse 3. press right mouse button: table dialog opens, cells are still selected 5. check "Multicolumn": the two cells are merged. B.) with the toolbar: 1. Insert a table 5x5 2. Select View->Toolsbars->table 3. Select cell 1 and 2 in the first row with the mouse 4. Press the "multicolumn" icon in the table toolbar: the two cells are merged. C.) Via lfuns: 1. Insert a table 5x5 2. Select cell 1 and 2 in the first row with the mouse 3. Hit Alt-X to open the minibuffer 4. type "tabular-feature multicolumn" and press enter: : the two cells are merged. Jürgen
