  using OO.o 2.0 beta.

  I have an address table (OO write) I'd like to merge the street name
  and house number columns. When I mark the 2 columns and click "merge
  cells" ALL cells in the 2 columns merge. what I'd like to to is to
  merge the 2 adjacent cells "street name" and "house number" in every
  row. Is this possible at all?

  Thanks for your help.

yes, this is exactly what I want. Is it possible?

Yes. I would look up help on concatenation. I do it lots in the spreadsheet section (Calc), but I think you could do it also in Writer. In the user's guide, it only mentioned calc, so you might have to copy your table to calc, do the concatenate and then copy it back to writer.
