Default SIMPLE CONCATENATE FUNCTION

You could use something like this
In say, B1: =TRIM(A1&" "&A2&" "&A3&" "&A4&" "&A5&" "&A6)
The ampersand: & is the concat operator, shorter to type than CONCATENATE
TRIM is optional but recommended to remove any extraneous white spaces
Any joy? hit the YES below

I apologize for asking such an incredibly newbie question, but I simply can't
get this to work, despite reading the help files and searching this forum. I
am using Windows 7 and newly purchased Excel 2007.

I have a column A with the following words (this is a simple, made-up
example): in

A1 The
A2 book
A3 is
A4 on
A5 the
A6 shelf.

I want to CONCATENATE them into one sentence in one cell. I can get
CONCATENATE to work in one row of cells in two or more columns, but I can't
get it to work in several rows of cells in the same column. Could you please
explain in detail how this can be done? Thanks.
