Hi :)
I did something similar once. It's easier to keep the data intact, in the 3
separate columns for data entry and for sorting the lists into alphabetical
order and stuff but then use a 2nd worksheet (2nd tab at the bottom) to use
formulas to add the 3 names together. eg
A2 = Sheet1.A2 & " " & Sheet1.B2 & " " & Sheet1.C2
You might have renamed the worksheet tabs so just swap the new name for "Sheet1"
but still make sure there is a dot . after it and before the cell address.
There are issues with "Data Protection" and respecting people's right to privacy
but if they have given you their addresses and know that it's for sharing with
the whole class then that sort-of implies that they have given you permission.
I'm not sure wheter it's legally enough but it probably gives you a good
position.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [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??????????
