Excel 2007 - Sudden Disappearance of Character Spacing
 
Hi,

I am using Excel 2007 at work for data entry.

Yesterday, I could have accidentally pressed a wrong function where all spacing between wordings is removed.

Examples will be "South China Sea" will be renamed to "SouthChinaSea" and "Great Barrier Reef" will be renamed to "GreatBarrierReef".

My document has about 12,000+ records and it would be very time consuming to Enter Spacing for each record.

Therefore, I would really grateful, if someone can please advise me how do I go about in inserting back the spacings.

Thank You!

in case of accident in the futu if you can't undo last action close
the workbook without saving.

Examples will be "South China Sea" will be renamed to "SouthChinaSea"
and "Great Barrier Reef" will be renamed to "GreatBarrierReef".


If all strings will be names and the spaces are missed in front of
capital letters, try following code in a selected range:

Sub InsertSpace()
Dim RngC As Range
Dim i As Integer

For Each RngC In Selection
For i = 65 To 90
If InStr(2, RngC, Chr(i)) 0 Then
RngC = Replace(RngC, Chr(i), " " & Chr(i))
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
