How do I put a "hard space" into text in a excel 2007 cell?
I have a worksheet that I am putting text in certain cells -- names,
addresses, etc. These cells are formatted so the text wraps. Is there a way to place a "hard space" in the text in an excel cell so 2 or more words in the text box stay together (e.g., "Mr. John Doe" -- I want hard spaces between each of these words, so the entire name stays on one line in the cell). Any help is greatly appreciated. |

You will have to turn OFF Wordwrap, and seperate each line with Alt+Enter

Use the "non-breaking" space, Char(160).
Type Mr. Hold the <Alt key and enter 0160 from the Num keypad, *not* the numbers under the function keys, then type John And repeat the above procedure, ending with the typing of Doe Char(160) acts as any regular character typed into a cell. S0, If the column is too narrow to display the entire name, you'll see the name split to accommodate the width, though it will not necessarily split at the space. -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "Tom S" <Tom wrote in message ...
