Often when you paste data into Excel (from an HTML source) you bring
with it some non-breaking space characters, with a code of 160. To get
rid of them you can highlight the offending cells (or columns) and
CTRL-H (Find/Replace):

Find what: * * * * * * Alt-0160
Replace with: * * *leave blank
Click Replace All

where Alt-0160 means that you hold down the Alt key while typing 0160
on the numeric keypad.

Hope this helps.
