Combining a string of text
I want to combine a string of text from several cells. I can do this however
the format of the text needs to be different. Example. I have "New Loan Application" in cell A1 and it is in Calisto MT size 9 font. In cell B1 I have "to be submited in" also in Calisto MT size 9 font. Then in cell C1 i have the number "5" in Arial, Bold, underlined and in size 10 font. Then I have "business days" in cell D1. I want to combine all 4 cells into one cell with all of their respective font sizes, styles and characteristics. ie bold, underlined, or italicized. I have been playing around with: =A1&B1&C1&D1 but can't get the right fonts and styles. Is there a way to make this happen? |

Combining a string of text
You will not be able to do this with a simple formula
And the VBA solution might not be that easy, either best wishes -- Bernard Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme "tracktor" wrote in message ...

Combining a string of text
Very easy.
Once you have entered the formula to combine the strings, copy the cell and paste/special/value back onto the cell. Then hilight the areas in the formula bar and apply the formats. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200787 "tracktor" wrote: I want to combine a string of text from several cells.
