    Merged cell error on copy/paste, but no merged cells

    Although there are no merged cells in the area of the spreadsheet that I'm attempting to paste into, a merged cell error is displayed. There are merged cells elsewhere in the spreadsheet, however, and those need to remain merged. Any suggestions would be appreciated--thank you!

    Re: Merged cell error on copy/paste, but no merged cells

    Are you attempting to copy merged cells?

    Are there merged cells in the area to which you are posting?

    Can you provide a sample workbook?

    Re: Merged cell error on copy/paste, but no merged cells

    Thank you to both AliGW and Richard Buttrey for your response. While producing a shareable file to submit to this forum, I found that the problem did not exist in that file. Subsequently, I re-tested the original files and was surprised to find that the problem was no longer present there! I'm at a loss to explain why. Yesterday, when attempting to paste a group of unmerged cells in one Excel file over a group of unmerged cells in another Excel file, the merged cell error message was displayed. Today, those same tasks are not producing the error message. Nevertheless, thank you for your response and willingness to help!
