Question:  I want to center text across multiple cells but I don't want to have to merge the cells. How can I do this?

Answer:  Select the cells that you wish to center the text across.

Right-click and then select "Format Cells" from the popup menu.

When the Format Cells window appears, select the Alignment tab. Click on "Center Across Selection" in the drop-down box called Horizontal.

Now when you return to your spreadsheet, you should see the text centered across the cells that you selected.
