A tip for the future:
Never, ever use merged cells. Most Excel-experts despise them - and with good reason.
Instead, highlight the cells that would be merged, go to Format > Cells > Alignment and in the Horizontal box, choose Center across selection. It gives the same appearance without the annoying side effects of actual merged cells.
