Many of us are using work computers and our organizations don't allow us to just download things of this nature. Thanks for the info, but for many of us, this isn't a viable solution.

Before anyone drops hard-earned cash on OneNoteGem, note that it does not have a solution to merge cells. It suggests using the Excel integration feature or to shade adjacent cells with 25% gray to wash out the cell borders. Both are freely available if you have OneNote and optionally Excel. But neither is what the vast majority of users desire.
