The button you describe is the Merge and Center button, and is considered
more trouble than it's worth. You have trouble with selections, pasting,
getting seeds out of your teeth -- all kinds of stuff, which shows up later
long after you've forgotten you even used merge and center. Better is Bob's
suggestion of Format - Cells - Alignment - Center across selection. You
select the cells (that you'd have merged), then use that command. Put the
stuff you want to appear in the selected range into the leftmost cell.
