If there were keyboardĬommands for each of these, I could easily create a keyboard shortcut (using Keyboard Maestro) than combined all of these into a single keyboard command. I'd prefer to do this with a single keyboard shortcut. Currently, I do this using the ribbon, but this takes multiple clicks: Home, Merge&Center, Wrap Text. I often have to do merge + center+wrap operations on a single cell. There are two operations I often do to cells in Excel, and I'd like to create single keyboard shortcuts for each of these: Merge End If Application.I'm using Excel 16.20 in Office 365, for Mac. Images larger than 600px wide or 1000px tall will be reduced. But if I type anything else numbers, letters, or symbols then it types 2 instances of the key every time, yet when I hit enter, nothing changes in the cell. For example, you may want to combine several cells for a better data presentation or structure. Use the CONCATENATE function to combine two or multiple cells Users who feel more comfortable with Excel formulas, may like this way to combine cells in Excel.
Then it gets really strange - when I have a cell highlighted and press any key to input text, it gets duplicated. I am an unpaid volunteer and do not work for Microsoft. If you are using Word on a Mac, go to the Word menu and choose About Word to find the version number. Be sure to include the version number you are inquiring or commenting about. I think it highly unlikely that today you would be using any version of Word that existed in 2012. Steven, if you would be kind enough to start an entirely new question or questions about Microsoft Word, that would be appreciated. In order to avoid even more confusion, I won't split off Steven's question about Microsoft Word, mainly because I have no idea which version of Word Steven has. And as for Palm, where are they now? Just now I modified the question and changed it to reflect her intent to ask about Excel instead of Word in order to avoid future confusion about the topic.
#SHORTCUT KEY FOR MERGE AND CENTER IN EXCEL FOR MAC#
Further, it seems that you do not realize that this a Community for Mac Office, but your references appear to pertain to the Windows versions. Word tables are not constructed or used in the same way, nor are they subject to the same issues. What I wrote is that merged cells are problematic in worksheets, and once again it was in reference to Excel. These Communities are not intended to serve as 'chat rooms'. Why the Community moderator retained the reference to Word in the Subject I have no idea, but this conversation has been in the Mac Excel forum since the day it was posted. My reply was to the January 21 question tacked on to the original posting by hollyneilson. I sure wish Microsoft had put someone in charge of this task during the development of the Office Suite since 2006. Their objective was to everything with just four presses. Supposedly, at the height of its popularity there was a person on every project team at Palm whose job it was to count the stylus inputs required to accomplish every task. I never owned a Palm Pilot, but friends of mine did. Or a move my hand from the keyboard to the mouse, then b do 1 or 2 mouse clicks to display the Table Layout options, then c click Split cells, then d move my hand back to the keyboard. But most of the time, I have to use four key presses to bring it up Alt-release, J, L, P. Every so often, my fingers remember where it is, and I press it. Starting with 2007, that keystroke still works, but it is not shown anywhere in the interface. In Word versions before 2007, it was a single keystroke. What's more, there is a shortcut key that opens the Split Cells dialog box. If we need to merge cells, then we need to merge cells, and Word provides a way to do it.
Your comment about merged cells not being useful is irrelevant. The question was about a Word table, but your answer is about Excel. That method maintains the structural integrity of the worksheet. If you don't mind some personal advice :- most experienced users of Excel recommend avoiding the use of merged cells altogether. The other replies in that conversation apparently were from users of Excel for Windows. However, you cannot assign custom keyboard shortcuts in Excel 2016. Supposing you want to combine two cells in your Excel sheet, A2 and B2, and both cells have data in them.Īs the Answer in that thread stated, there is no built-in keyboard shortcut for that purpose. I don't care about obtaining detail about which value matches which. If somebody could help me out that would be great. Thanks again for saving me from having to search further! Many of the old threads have been read thousands of times.
