Keyboard Shortcut Key Assignment (Excel 2003)

Short of getting a single key to execute the command, you can add the Merge
button to the Format menu. Then you can execute it with Alt-o , M key

Notification area (system tray)

Umm, click on the top edge of the taskbar and drag it down to one row's

laptops.
