Sorting merged cells

[rebecca]

I am working on a databse another person created. When I go to sort it
keeps telling me all merged cells must be the same size, how do I fix
this so that I can sort my data?

Merged cells suck. They cause all kinds of problems, and about 95% of
the the time what whoever merged them wanted to accomplish could have
been accomplished by centering a simple text cell across a couple
columns. There is a really good chance you can simply get rid of
merged cells without losing anything. If you can't, you have a
problem.
Good luck.
