I just performed this exercise using OpenOffice 4.1.1 on Windows 10 Pro x64.
Here is how I did it. 1. Opened OpenOffice 4.1.1 2. On the Dashboard page, selected Spreadsheet 3. On the new Calc spreadsheet, selected row 14 by clicking on the row number (not on any cell), selecting the entire row (with A14 shown as the start of the selection). 4. Clicked menu Format | Merged Cells (not greyed) Row 14 now shows as a single sheet-wide cell If only a single cell is selected, the Merge Cells item on the Format menu item will be greyed out. There are probably other variations, including read-only sheets, protected fields, etc. Is there a difference in detail in your scenario, Elaine? Can you replicate this? If so, there may be something else involved with the sheet that exhibits the problem you see. Thanks for reporting this and checking it out. - Dennis > -----Original Message----- > From: Elaine Rocholl [mailto:elaineroch...@gmail.com] > Sent: Saturday, October 17, 2015 09:43 > To: users@openoffice.apache.org > Subject: Bug report > > Subject: Merge function under format greyed out > Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1 > 64 bit > OpenOffice Version 4.1.1 > > 1.
