why can't i enter text into merged cells in excel

Hi Shellie

what happens when you try?
what version of excel?
on all worksheets in all workbooks or only one workbook?
can you merge a cell and enter data in it in a new workbook?
have you run detect & repair from the help menu

it's also a good idea to give us a bit more details about the situation (ie
answers to questions above) in the message body rather than just typing a
problem into the subject line ....
