Hi,

Good question,

As I think of it, the problem is solved with a
'merging' of cells of course, in the sense that the
cell containing the data is expanded to fill the
selected area and the other cells are hidden. Well,
that's what it looks like anyway.

I really should test this feature with excel too, like
I said, I rarely use 'merging' except for the
centering across columns feature (if it is implemented
in the same way as pure 'merging').

The point that I wanted to make is that there are a
lot of problems for the moment with this feature in
KSpread, and that having this feature comes at a cost,
in performance, in look and feel. I have already put
up a webpage  http://users.pandora.be/taiji/KSpread/
(it's still empty for the moment)

>From now on I'll make snapshots as I test and put them
up as some sort of log to aid discussion about this
and other issues.

Regards

Marc
