merging cells and keeping all text

Is there a way to merge cells without losing any text within the cells? Currently, merging cells only keeps top left cell text and loses everything else.

do you want the contens of three cells to make one cell entry... eg.
a1=John/a2=bladen/a3=smith =>a1=john Bladen Smith

id it easier for you to insert another column in between and then merge those cells?

Yes one cell entry.
I need to combine rows as follows:
h1: john, h2: jacob, h3: smith
john jacob smith.

What do you mean insert columns (rows in my case) and merge those? It seems that I still would have the same issue.
