Change column width

[Hatye]

Hi,
I want to change column width on the following columns in my worksheet: O, S, W, AA, AE, AI from 2 to 1.
What I have is this:

    Range("O:O,S:S,W:W,AA:AA,AE:AE,AI:AI").Select
    Selection.ColumnWidth = 1

The problem is that it is selecting all columns from B to AI. I have some merged cells whitin the range, so I guess that that has something to do about it, but I can't figure out what to do. Can anyone help me with this?
However, it does work when I do it manually (when recording the macro).

Do you have a row that doesn't have any merged cells? Maybe you should be using the horizontal alignment 'Center across selection' instead of merged cells.

Hi Andrew Poulsom and than you for the reply,

No, I don't have any whole columns that don't contain merged cells. It is unfortunately a lot of work to not use merged cells. This is a report template, which is specially adapted to different purposes. All columns width are 2, and it uses merged cells actively to get the correct layout for the report.
Now there is a report which needs to be adjusted, so that the columns mentioned in the first post must have the width 1.

Since it works when I do it manually, shouldn't it work with when I run it as a macro?

I asked about rows not columns. Surely you haven't merged the cells in every row of the columns whose width you want to change?

Oh, I'm sorry, I misread; my fault!

Yes, I have several rows that doesn't conatain any merged cells. E.g. row 1, 6, 9, 40.

This worked for me:

Range("O1:O1,S1:S1,W1:W1,AA1:AA1,AE1:AE1,AI1:AI1").ColumnWidth = 1
