Yep. Starting points for instructions can be difficult to pinpoint. I used to
joke to my co-workers that I really don't want to tell them how to set their
alarm clocks and get ready for work--much less document their path to work--or
how to find the on/off switch on the pc.

But I read Gord's instructions and they seemed quite reasonable to me <bg.

If I were you, I'd revisit his instructions and try it once more. If you have
questions, post back with the steps you followed (which could be difficult to
document <vbg).

You may find that Gord's function useful later--or you may find that you need
something different that can't be done in MSWord.

Just a thought (or two).

I tried it that way, I honestly did. Then reverted to including content that
should, clearly, have been replaced. I entered the phrase 'A2:A150' and also
A2,A150' just to be sure. But, whilst the help and advice of experts such as
yourselves is greatly appreciated, do understand that it's sometimes easy to
forget just what degree of detail is needed in describing how to do
someting. I've been an IT trainer and do have some experience of this.
Imagine telling someone how to drive a car, who's never seen one
before...how would you describe changing gear? In terms of a gearstick? Of
second and fourth etc? What's a gear??

Anyway, I got there in the end. And to my mind, it's a shame that Excel has
so much trouble doing something so simple. Concatenating data in cells. Word
can do it!

Thanks for all your interest.

Too late, Gord, he's already done it using Word. Anyway, Dave told him
that yesterday.

There is no exclamation mark in my code.

I think that when you copied the code you also copied the Usage
instructions.

Just copy the part from

Function ConCatRange(CellBlock As Range) As String

down to and including

End Function

Many thanks for this. But I keep getting the message'Compile Error:
Expected: list seperator or )' and the exclamation mark in the code
becomes
highlighted.
