I don't know how they got there, but they are Arial font and they appear at the end of some sentences after periods. Sometimes there is one, sometimes there are two. Is there some way I can do this more quickly? Any help is appreciated. -- Dave Peterson Try making a new column to the right of each existing column and use the Substitute function to replace Char(10) with spaces (or whatever you want to use. Example: For column A, insert a column to the right of it and put: SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(10)," ") Then use Copy & Paste Special to copy the values of column B into column A. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Michael J.
