Default SIMPLE CONCATENATE FUNCTION

It appears that they are using some thoroughly unreliable web interface to
the newsgroup, and my guess is that they are not seeing the answers that
those of us accessing the newsgroup by more reliable means can send and see.

If Microsoft can't provide a reliable link between their web server and
their news server, it would be easier if they were to separate the two
systems completely, and then those who prefer to use a web forum could use
that, and those who prefer the newsgroup could use this.

What is going on? Why are people posting with answers that were supplied
hours, even days, ago?

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.
