Hi Roxy,
just a quick question:  could you let us know what file type you are
using for your spreadsheet?  Ods, xls, xlsx, xlsm etc?  From your
posts, I suspect you are using either xls or xlsx (long time MSO
user).  It's possible that the merge information is lost when saving
or loading the file, depending on the format.  I think this info might
be useful for filing a bug report.

Stephan
