Default Forced return??

Hi Wally,
Change the commas in your original data to the equivalent of comma & CHAR(10)

Select Column A
Ctrl+H (change)
from: "," (comma , space without the quotes)
to (type the comma then ALT+0010 on the numeric keypad)

You might splitt the original data into separate columns and use separate VLOOKUPs
and then you can use Mail Merge and make more practical use of Excel.

You might want to maintain an original column and a column split into separate
lines within a cell using a user defined function, then you can take your choice.
Or a macro, depending on how you are creating and maintaining your data)

Hi Me again :)

I'm looking for help on a wrapped cell.

I have cell a1 on sheet1 that reads

14140, Al Cat, 456 notre dame ave, (456) 456 5613

I use Vlookup to bring it into cell B2 on sheet4. it's a wrapped cell
and I'd like it to show the following:

14140,
Al Cat,
456 notre dame ave,
(456) 456 561

But it doesn't :(


Is there a way to force a return between each group so it will do
this?

Thanks for the help

Wally
