Default Concatenate strings?

Simple question:

I have:
"Fred" in A1
"loves" in B1
"chocolate" in C1

How do I set up a formula (like A1+B1+C1) do that in D1 I get "Fred loves
chocolate"? Is there any way to add sapces in the formula, maybe A1+" "+B1+"
"+C1? I've tried all of the above, without success.

I'm using Excep 97.

Thanks,
Alain

I'm not sure if this function exists in Excel 97 but in 2003 it does.

try inserting in cell D1 the formula: =Concatenate(A1,B1,C1)

if it doesn't work, try typing:

=A1 & " " & B1 & " " & C1

CONCATENATE(A1,B1,C1) is equivalent to A1&B1&C1, not what you wrote.
