identification of cell that exceed certain number of characters
I would like to identify cells in a column that have more
then a certain number of characters in them because I need to trim them down so fit on a mail merge lable. We can go with color coding - which would be great or in required I can have a new field that an x appears when my target field has to many characters in it. The color coding of the cell would be great. Thanks Todd |

Todd,
conditional formatting. Use a condition of IsFormula, and a formula of =LEN(A1)6, and just choose a format to suit. This assumes A1 is the first cell you want to format, and the length you want is 6. -- HTH Bob Phillips ... looking out across Poole Harbour to the Purbecks (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Todd" wrote in message ...
