You did NOT post your efforts.

Sub strip5()
For Each c In Selection
c.Offset(0, 1) = Left(c, Len(c) - 5)
Next
End Sub

question 1. use activecell.offset(1,0).select to go down one. But you
do
NOT
need to select cells in excel to do something to them. Use
activecell.offset(1).value="Lotus"
question2 use a for/each macro with c.value=Left(c,len(c)-5). Post

Hi

I would like to know how to set a macros similar to the ones I used
in
Lotus
... for Example

In Lotus when I moved around when setting a macro it would just go up
and
down ... no matter where I start from ...
In excel ... it references specific cells to go to ... how do I just
move
up
or own with out going to a specific cell in an Excel macro??

Second .... I had an editing macro in Lotus where I could go to the
end
of
a cell and delete the last five characters and then go to the next
cell.
when I try to do that in Excel ... it relaces the whole line with the
one
I
used in the macro ... How do I change the macro to just delete the
last
five
characters of each cell and then go on to the next cell ...

Thanks

Gordon
