Default Converting decmials to factions

use the find and replace command (Edit-Replace) with " in. " in the find
section and nothing in replace section (leave it blank). You will then have
to copy a blank cell and paste special (right click) selecting add.

Hello I am have trouble with my bill of materials it imports a decmial into
Excel like this .750 in. I have formated the colum to change to factions but
I must go to each individual cell and take the " in. " out to convert to
fractions and i have 3 colums so is this possible to format a colum like
this? Any help would be greatly appreciated~!!!!! Brett
