Merging stock

I am using the Canadian version of MS Money 2004. I am
attempting to merge a stock and have followed the help
directions:
1. On the Investing menu, click Portfolio .
2. In the left pane, click Record a special activity , and
then click Record a merger .
3. Follow the instructions on the screen.

I get stuck at option 2. as there is no "Record a Merger"
option, just transfer and record a split.

Confirm please that this option is not available in the
Canadian version, though I can't imagine why.

Here is how you will need to do it if you did not hold both stocks
involved in the merger.

Go to the Details for the old stock. Change the symbol, rename the
stock, add an appropriate comment, and do an appropriate split to
achieve the ratio you want. Post the ratio you are trying to
achieve if you want a suitable ratio of integers to enter for the
split.

There is no Deluxe Canadian version because there was not perceived
to be sufficient demand. I know that does not make you feel better.
