It is now called Merge and Center, and it is found on the Home tab. Be sure to have all cells that you want merged selected. Mike

I would select the columns/rows that will contain your narrative and hit control-1 to format the cells. Hit control-tab to move to the alignment tab and tab around until you find merge columns. You can then use the format functions to make it look nice. Note that is from memory and I haven't done it for a while. So, have a look around and you'll find it. You, of course, could always Google "excel 2013 merging columns" and find more than you will want to read.

I am formatting and making "pretty" a budget proposal for a blind friend using the little bit of vision I have. The budget uses Columns A through G. He wants to place a "Budget Narrative" at the bottom. I have entered his narrative. If I manually spread it across columns A thru G it takes up 5 rows but it is pretty ragged on the right side. I seem to remember there is a way to enter text like that that crosses numerous columns and rows and have Excel display it and even justify it within that area? Has anyone used this function and could help me out?
