Annoying problem...
I merged cells and come time to paste from the clipboard into a merged cell,
I get the error it can't be done. I can hit F2 and paste. It's an annoying
step and users who are not quick on the draw with Excel would be stuck.
Is there a way to stop the error and succeed with a paste?
thanks!

Don't use merged cells.
The problem you found is only one of a great many you will come across when
using merged cells.

...gotta use merged cells. That's the only way to layout a comprehensive,
tight form and make it look good.
thanks
