Default String Together

Assuming that "apple" "pear" and "orange" are in cells A1, A2 and A3,
respectiively, try =A1&" "&A2&" "&A3

This is a short form of the Concatenate function. Use the ampersand symbol
to "join" two cells together. To get the spaces between the words, join " "
to the cells, as well.

It sounds like you need to use the Concatenate function.

Try this in cell C3
=CONCATENATE(A1," ",A2," ",A3)

Good luck!
