Hi Mark,

Those little squares normally represent an unprintable character such as a
carriage return. But in your attached file are a vertical tab chr(11), and
according to help not used in Excel.

You could use the Clean fuction as suggested by Mike Q, but that might also
remove other unprintable characters you want to keep.

Try this having saved a backup -

Sub RemVtabs()

Cells.Replace What:=Chr(11), Replacement:="", _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:= _
xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
End Sub

Regards,
Peter T
