Hi

Have you tried doing a Find/Replace on the email addresses?

1. Select the email address range eg columns A:A
2. Go EditReplace and

Find What: '
Replace With:

(leave Replace With blank)
3. Hit OK

Hope this helps!

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"'","") assuming the email is in A1.

Note the second argument is an apostrophe enclosed with two double quotation
marks and the third argument is two double quotation marks with nothing in
between them.
