Hi Connull,
The Copy (blank) | Paste Special | Add process clears leading apostrophes in
text values too - at least this works for me.

Thanks Norman, this option removed the apostrophe from the numeric values
but
I am still sitting with the problem of the apostrophe in front of the text
values. If you have any further suggestions I would be most grateful.

Edit | Paste Special | Check "Value" and "Add" | OK
Perhaps counter-intuitively, this works on text values.

How can I remove the apostrophe (') from the text values in my
spreadsheet. I
need to use this spreadsheet to import data into another program which
then
gives errors due to the (')
