Using this example:
Cell A1 contains Name and Street Address. Cell A2 contains City, State and Zip. You want the contents of cell A2 appended to the contents of cell A1. Highlight cells A1, A2 and holding the mouse button down, extend that highlighting over several cells to the right enough. You do this to accomodate enough room for the appended text to fit on the screen. Don't worry - it will all go into cell A1 - you just need to create a highlighted area for the text to fit into. (You could also do the same by simply making column A extra wide temporarily to fit all the text in and then returning it to its original widith afterwards, but that's not really necessary.) Using the example above, I highlighted cells A1 through J2. I could have gone to M2 or S2 - makes no difference - you just want to highlight over a bunch of cells over to the right. Now, do EditFillJustify, and assuming you've highlighted enough space, all your text will be now appear in cell A1. The more lines you need to append, the more highlighting over and down you'll need to do. If it doesn't all append the way you want, it means you didn't have a sufficient number of cells hightlighted to accomodate the text. Experimentation is the key. |
