Refer to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...561311033.aspx.

Basically, you can use CLEAN to remove nonprinting characters with ASCII
codes 0-31.

But I suspect the nonprinting characters you are seeing (hmm, an oxymoron?
;-) in the ASCII code range 127-255. You would need to use several
SUBSTITUTE calls to remove each one. It would be better to use a macro. I
believe someone has one; but I didn't find any with a quick Google search.
Or it might be sufficient to replace CODE(160) with a space (" ").

However, bewa some of those values might be printable characters in some
character set. You might want to save a backup copy of the Excel file before
making any changes.
