Limiting Characters In Rows
How do you format a column so that It only has a limited amount of characters. Some rows in my column have over 40 characters which is the limit. I need to cut off the characters at 40 for the complete column. I have thousands of rows and I don't want to do this manually. Thanks for the help!

Hi!
You can use data validation. Assume the range in question is A1:A10. Select that range Goto DataValidation Allow: Text length Fill in the criteria OK out Biff "Mdlee" wrote in message ...
