Default How do I get macro to unmerge cells that have been previously merg

When I try to record the steps to unmerge 2 previously merged colums into 2
separate colums into a macro, when the macro is executed it tries to merge
the colums instead of unmerging them?

If I do the same steps without recording as a macro the unmerge works fine.
Is there a trick invloved in recording a macro to do unmerging?

Hmmmm not sure what's happening. Are you sure the cells you are
unmerging are merged (probably a daft question), merge/unmerge is a
toggle.

Keyboard strokes are better than the mouse when using the record macro
function, eg


Ctrl+1
Alt+m
Enter

thanks tghcogo....yes im sure they are merged. The manual unmerge works fine.
I looked at the macro code..and it did not have an "unmerge" command. I
changed the code to select the columns and issued "unmerge" and it worked. So
I dont know what is going on with the record macro function
