Cells become not merged but the text "virtually" placed as > if. I shall clarify my poor wording. In Excel (xls(x)), "center _across_ selection" is only applicable to horizontal alignment, taking a selection of adjacent cells in multiple columns, but without merging the selected cells into one. IIRC, "center across selection" is even older than "merge and center". Having said that, a web search will show you that users would like to be able to achieve a similar result over a vertical selection, instead of "across" a (horizontal) selection. There is no such vertical alignment setting of a group of multiple cells in Excel, AFAIK. Please remember: all this is without merging cells. My comment 1 was/is a wish, since we are talking about an enhancement request, to "expand" the original RFE to cover not only horizontal alignment but also the possibility to act on a vertical selection. The "horizontal selection" case is known as "center across selection" (without merging) in Excel, while the vertical case would be a plus, frequently asked in forums and alike ("how can I achieve..."). If this "expansion" of the original request is not possible, I'm sure that many users will be anyway happy to get in Calc the equivalent horizontal alignment of "center across selection" (without merging) of Excel. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
