Description Jon 'Smith' Camilleri 2016-11-02 18:49:12 UTC
Description:
I am unable to merge cells within a spreadsheet this feature was available within Microsoft Excel till version 2007.

See article at https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Merge-or-split-cells-in-a-table-8B458DEB-0FC5-4C8D-8D94-2D4DA98193F8.

Steps to Reproduce:
Select Format > Cells, and, try to merge cells that were pre-selected.
I check Wrap Text Automatically as well.

Actual Results:  
Formatting is not desirable as wrapping occurs in a manner that leaves the spreadsheet unreadable.  

Expected Results:
Readable merged cells and useful options as used to be available in Microsoft Excel.


Reproducible: Always
