Default Pulling Multiple Text Strings in a One Cell

Okay....this is what i need help on. These multiple lines in one cell is
throwing me off. If i make the multiple lines appear as a single text string
in one cell, i still have spacing issues.

(A1)

ATM ID: Example
Project ID: 12345
Project Name: HELP
Site Name: Company Name
Model: 2345e EF
SN: Not Assigned

I need it to look like this all in one cell, due to a system upload.

ATM ID: Example**Project ID: 12345**Project Name: HELP**Site Name: Company
Name**Model: 2150e EF**SN: Not Assigned

Please HELP!!!

Thanks

Try:
=LEFT(A1,15)&"* *"&MID(A1,16,17)&"* *"&MID(A1,34,19)&"* *"&MID(A1,53,25)&"*
*"&MID(A1,85,18)&"* *"&RIGHT(A1,16)

Select the range to fix (at least two cells)
Edit|Replace (in xl2003 menus)
what: ctrl-j (hold the control key while you hit the j key)
(It may not look like anything was entered, but trust it!)
with: **
Replace all
(Make sure that the options are set correctly, too.)

And then widen the column to see if it worked like you want.

Default Pulling Multiple Text Strings in a One Cell

This formula works for the most part for my example, but keep in mind the
information will change. The info that will stay constant is ATM ID: Project
Name: , Site Name: ,Model:, SN:. However, the rest of the info will
change...so I don't think I can use this type of formula that counts number
of characters. Is there a way to FIND the text which will be constant such as
PROJECT ID: and add ** to the left of the word PROJECT? Then add on to the
formula to find Project Name: , Site Name: ,Model:,SN: and add ** to the left
of those words?
