Hard breaks in text to soft breaks in Excel
Alt+enter isn't a softbreak. It is a hard break. As long a workwrap is
applied the text will break at the point as a minimum. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "tbailey" wrote in message ... Hi, Am importing data into Excel from raw text files.

Hard breaks in text to soft breaks in Excel
If you really meant soft breaks instead of hard breaks then look at
Replace() eg strContent = Replace(strContent, chr(10),"") strContent = Replace(strContent, chr(13),"") Tim. "tbailey" wrote in message ... Hi, Am importing data into Excel from raw text files.
