HARD RETURN IN A CELL
I have a spreadsheet that was exported from Outlook or word and has a hard
return represented by the symbol of a square. It looks like in Outlook they had a street address, hard return and then suite number. I need to go through the spread sheet and delete each hard return in order to leave all the same data in one cell. Can this hard return be removed, without going through each record? Thank you. |

HARD RETURN IN A CELL
Try this:
Select the range of cells you need fixed From the Excel main menu <edit<replace Find What: ...Hold down the [Alt] key...type 0010...Release the [Alt] key Replace with: ...Type a space Click the [Replace All] button That will replace all of the line feeds (ASCII code 0010) with a space. Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Dave T" wrote: I have a spreadsheet that was exported from Outlook or word and has a hard return represented by the symbol of a square.

Another way to specify that alt-enter key is to use ctrl-j (instead of
alt-0010).
