If the column already contains the text "Company Name" at the start of
each cell, you can use EditReplace to remove it (Replace "Company Name"
with nothing)

Then, select the column
Choose FormatCells
On the Number tab, select the Custom Category
In the text box, type: "Company Name: "@
Click OK

When you enter data in the column, it will be preceded by "Company Name:"

I have a large column and would like to split it for the literal that says
"Company Name" and then have the company name right next to it which is
enterable. I tried using Data/Text to Columns, Fixed Width, sliding the arrow
after Company Name: and it did not seem to split the column. I also tried
putting an arrow out a ways so that there looked as though there were two
defined fields and that didn't seem to work either.

Am I approaching this the right way???

HELP!!!

Thanks!
