[libreoffice-users] Merge cell problem LO3.3.2.2

I have a 15 page spreadsheet of classmate addresses, phone numbers, email, etc. I "manipulate" this 
information in several different ways to give my classmates different kinds of "directories". 
Anyway, their names are in the first 3 columns. This particular spreadsheet is going to include ALL 
the information on each person, will be printed on legal sized paper in landscape format, so I need 
a little more room to contain everything on the width of the page.
So (SEVERAL TIMES) I have merged the cells in the first 3 columns. This contains the parts of their 
names, and allows me to conserve enough room to get everything on the width of the page. But every 
time I close LO, and then come back to work on this spreadsheet, the cells are no longer "merged". 
They will not stay merged. I haven't gotten all the way through the spreadsheet - at one time - to 
merge the cells. Would the "un-merged" cells that are left in the 3 columns keep the ones above 
them from staying merged, or am I doing something wrong? I just don't understand - time after time 
- I merge them, come back and they are no long merged??????????
