Is this not your expected outcome?

No, I expected to get three merged cells with text that left-aligned . If need screenshot, I think I can upload somewhere. But, it is very simple: merged left-aligned cells.
I use OpenOffice for Linux (Ubuntu)

Yes, please upload the screenshot with your expected outcome somewhere, i.e. Twitter and link it here.

So basically "very simple cell merging" does not work for you. Correct?

Have you seen this: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/rubyspreadsheet/merge/rubyspreadsheet/usuQkDCXDHc/AD6uGBAr7ZUJ and have you tried it?

I seems that your example sets cells formats, and then inputs text there..
Hmm.. I'll try and then say you what is going on. Thanks!

Yes, please let me know here of your outcome.

Also, have a look at the spreadsheet code:

lib/spreadsheet/worksheet.rb

on line

285

it says: https://github.com/zdavatz/spreadsheet/blob/master/lib/spreadsheet/worksheet.rb#L285

So it should work.

Also Timon added this feature in 2011:

Oki, I'll check this feature and add to my library if this will be useful.
Many thanks for now,

Dear Vitaly

Also see this on how the functionality got added.

voraz/spreadsheet#1

If it works for you, please supply us with a sample code of yours how you merged your cells. That would be great.

Hello, I don' tknow if anyone is still reading these. I am new to programming and I am trying to make one line of my code autofit into a cell. Is that possible? I didn't see what I was looking for up top. Thanks.

Hi Cam,
is your question still actual? :)
