Excel how to measure couple of merged cells

[zillah]

Hi

I am looking to create a label and I have been doing I merged couple of cells say I2-N2

How can I measure the length of the merged cell (horizontally and vertically ) to see if a label fit in a plastic pouch before printing it ?

Please see attached snapshot

My initital reaction would be to never, ever use merged cells

Draw a rectangle that will exactly cover the label area. On the "Format Shape" tab, you can see the dimensions of this rectangle.
