Also, to merge cells, you can select the cells you want then press  control
and the number 1 on the numbers row.  Control tab until you hear alinement,
then tab over until you hear merge cells check box not check.  Press space
bar to check it, then press enter.

Bryce and list, happy Easter! I can answer your first question,  Merged
cells in excel I supposed to be like that. I am taking a class in Excel and
have found that was easy to navigate, just press the tab or arrow keys to
move away from them. If you need to unmerge  a cell or group of cells, look
on the home tab (press alt H) for merge and center. There should be an
option and not submenu unmerged cells.
