Anyway to get around "Cannot change part of a merged cell" in VBA?

[UncleBajubjubs]

Hello, I made a macro to go through a long worksheet and clear out all the entries in certain cells, using the following example code

<Code>
Range("G297").Clear
Range("R297").Clear
Range("D298").Clear
Range("L298").Clear
Range("S298").Clear
Range("D299").Clear
</code>

I did this for hundreds of cells, typing in the cells I needed to clear, as this sheet will be filled in and cleared regularly. I got tunnel vision while working on this and forgot that all the cells to be cleared are merged, and thus I get the error "Cannot change part of a merged cell". Is there any easy way to fix this, or will I have to go to each of the cells, and make them unmerge and then merge again after they are cleared? Since there's hundreds of them, that'd take a while to type, so I'm hoping there's another way.
Thanks.

Merged cells are a scourge on VBA and should be avoided whenever possible. The cause all sorts of issues.
If your cells are merged horizontally, you can achieve the same visual effects as merging without all the issues by using the "Center Across Selection" formatting option instead.
