Hi David.

Thanks for that, the only problem with that is it leaves lots of blank cells
when pasted back into excel. I've even tried saving the spreadsheet as csv
and text file to see if that would help when pasted back into excel. No luck
there.

Any more ideas greatly accepted.

Regards

Stuar

Hi Stuart,
I would go to Steve Miller's http://www.stevemiller.net/apps/
and install Pure Text then you can copy the HTML from an HTML page
click on the PT system taskbar button, and paste into notepad.

If you start from the Excel sheet, copy from the column, Paste into notepad,
save as HTML (junk.htm) from notepad, open the junk.htm file with your
browser, copy the everything on the sheet (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C) then paste
into notepad and you will have your text. After you have installed and
used Pure Text the process should take about 3 minutes to convert in that
manner.
