On a copy of your file:

1) Temporarily insert a column adjacent to these cells
2) in the new column type (replace B2 with the address of the adjacent cell)
="3-"&B2
3) copy down through all 1000 cells
4) select all these new formulas
5) EditCopy
6) Select the original cells
7) EditPaste SpecialValues
8) Delete the temporary column

I'm trying to enter the same information into multiple cells that are already
filled - how can I do this in Excel??

Example -

12345
654321
78946
456798

I need to insert "3-" before each of the digits in these cells - There are
over 1000, that's why I don't want to do it manually. Any help would be
greatly appreciated!
