Default Adding more information to a column of cells?

Is it possible to add more to a cell?

For example, I have one column of cells numbering from 1 to 10.

I want to add a prefix or suffix to the number therefore I get:

1rabbit
2rabbit
3rabbit
4rabbit etc....

For one cell that is.

Thanks,

Pete

hi
aside from click into the cell and typing in the data, you could use a
helper column with a formula....
=A1 & "rabbit"
copy the formula down. you could then copy the helper column formula and
paste special values over the original data. delete the helper column.
a bit manual i admit but you did say how long your list was. based on your
example this should do it.
