Merge & Center function is turned off...how do I turn it back on?

When setting up a "table" I repeatedly used the merge & center function. I
want to expand and edit the table but the merge & center button is not
functioning (is grayed out). Also, when I copy a number of rows (which
contain merged & centered cells) the paste results in the merged & centered
cells being copied without the merge and center. And...the merge & center
function remains unavailable.

Try using Format-->Cells, Alignment, Center across selection. It causes far
fewer problems.
