Maybe the text in that cell is not left aligned?

Select the cell with the text and the next cell; use Edit | Clear | all
Gary's Student is correct in what he told you so it must work.

B1 was clear. I cleared it again to be sure but it still didn't carry.
What
else can I try?

A cell will accept a carry-over only if it is empty. So if you have
text in
A1 and want it to caarry-over to B1, clear B1.

I have created a four cell header on a worksheet. I entered the title
of the
header in the second cell expecting it to carryover into the third
cell but
it didn't, nor can I figure out how do it. On other cells it carries
over
fine. I tried formatting the cell to general but that didn't work.
Suggestions please. Thanks, Rick
