You’ll use similar approaches to covering, merging, and adding ridges around cell openings. The related options are located in the Grid Special Settings section:
Using these options, you can cover specific openings:
and you can merge two or more cells together:
To cover, merge, and add ridges to certain cells, you provide the number associated with that cell. Cells are numbered from left to right, starting with the bottom row, as shown in this picture:
To cover cells 1 and 4, put the text “[1,4]” (without the quotes but including the brackets) in the “cover these cells” box. You can cover as many cells as you want. You can cover rectangular cells and circular cells.
To merge cells horizontally, you provide the cell number to merge with the cell on its right. So, to merge cells 5 and 6, you put the text “[5]” (without the quotes but including the brackets) in the “merge cells starting at” box. To merge cells 5, 6, and 7, you put the text “[5, 6]” in that box. Putting a number for the right-hand cells – 4, 8, or 12 – in the box won’t have any effect because there’s no cell to their right to merge with.
To vertically merge cells 2 and 6 in the picture above, put 2 within the square brackets of the “merge cells vertically starting at” box.
If you put “[1, 4]” in the “cover these cells” box and “[10]” in the “merge cells starting with” box, it will produce a grid of rectangles that looks like this:
