Example

This example creates a merged cell from the range B2:C5 and puts a thick red border around the merged cell.

Sub Merge_Cells()
    Dim ssConstants
    Dim rngMerged
   
    Set ssConstants = Spreadsheet1.Constants
   
    ' Merge cells B2:C5.
    Spreadsheet1.ActiveSheet.Range("B2:C5").Merge
   
    ' Set a variable to the merged range.
    Set rngMerged = Spreadsheet1.ActiveSheet.Range("B2").MergeArea
   
    ' Format the merged cell.
    rngMerged.Borders.Color = "Red"
    rngMerged.Borders.Weight = ssConstants.owcLineWeightThick
    rngMerged.HorizontalAlignment = ssConstants.xlHAlignCenter
    rngMerged.VerticalAlignment = ssConstants.xlVAlignCenter
