paste copied text to only one cell
How do I paste copied text into only one cell of a row? When I paste text
either from a sentence in WORD or from one cell of a table in WORD, the text ends up in multiple rows of one column. Which I then must copy and paste as an add to the text in the single cell. Appreciate any help. -- Chris |

Do the paste directly within the formula bar
Click inside the cell's formula bar Paste (or Ctrl+V) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Chris" wrote: How do I paste copied text into only one cell of a row?

If it's only one cell's worth of data, you can paste into the formulabar (at the
top). Chris wrote: How do I paste copied text into only one cell of a row?

How is it possible to prevent this from occurring either in a macro or in a manual operation? Roger |

If you select the cell, then click in the formula bar, you should be able to
paste in that formula bar. Roger wrote: On Nov 5, 12:20 pm, Dave Peterson wrote: If it's only one cell's worth of data, you canpasteinto the formulabar (at the top).

like the plague. -- David Biddulph "Roger" wrote in message ups.com...
