excel spreadsheet has little bits of embedded code in it ? help needed
 

Hello there

I have a personal contacts database which I want to import into
Outlook.

As an interim step I have exported it into excel. The data has
little bits of embedded code in it. I need to remove these.

I can do it manually line by line but this will take hours. Can
anyone help me with a bit of programming to clean up the database


See an example from the excel spreadsheet at

Any help gratefully welcomed.

Regards


Danny

David McRitchie's TrimAll mscro can probably handle this for you.

Danny,

I tried to respond to your EMail but it bounced back as undeliverable.

Send me a copy of the Excel workbook (or a sample if
the workbook is huge).
