You could just build a giant formula that concatenates those 18 cells:

=a1&b1&c1&...&q1&r1

But since you have numbers, dates, times, you'd want to format those to make
them look nice:

=text(a1,"mm/dd/yyyy")& " " & b1 & " " & text(c1,"hh:mm") & " " &
text(d1,"$0.00") & " " & ..... & r1

And if you want to force new lines within that giant formula:

=text(a1,"mm/dd/yyyy")& char(10) & b1 & " " & text(c1,"hh:mm") & " " &
text(d1,"$0.00") & char(10) & ..... & r1

(remember to format the cell as wrap text)

Once you build that formula, then you could just copy down the column. And
never throw it away!

the information in those 18 cells, for each row, and/or save it as a word
