Dear Ahsen,

Merging 2 segments which belong to the same paragraph is always possible, but if they don't belong to the same paragraph you have to allow this functions yourself.
You can only do this if you have created the project yourself. In this case click Open Project Settings, click the first item Project and on the right panel check the box related to Enable Merging Segments Across Paragraphs.
In case you haven't created the project yourself because it is either a Package or a GroupShare Project. unfortunately you cannot change this parameter. If you like you need to ask your PM to do so.
I hope this will help you understand how things are working.
Bye
