how do I copy text with a plus sign at the front?
I have text that I want into Excel that reads "+12/156" for example, and I
want to keep the plus sign at the front and I dont want it to compute the fraction - it is not an equation, it is how the text is written. I want it to remain "+12/156". I can't find a format... thanks. |

Format the cell as Text before you enter the text or precede the text with
an apostrophe (which will not show in the cell) -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "rich" wrote in message ...
