Hi, I am trying to copy an address from a screen in IE7 and insert it into 1
cell of a spreadsheet, the problem I keep running into is that I copy the
address then try to paste it but instead of going into cell A3, where I want
it, it puts the first line into A3, the 2nd line into A4 and the third line
into A5. I thought I might be able to do something with paste special, but
the options I get will not allow me to achive what I want.
I really do hope someone out there can give me a pointer on how to solve
this problem
Thanks in advance
Peter

Doubleclick in the cell.

Then it should paste all in the same cell.

Alternatively, paste it normally. This will keep your fields in
separate cells. Next, create a function in the cell just to the right.
=A3&" "&A4&" "&A5.
This will combine the fields and leave spaces between them.

Many thanks, that works a treat, the only thing is that it enlarges the cell
to accomodate the address, is there a way of forcing the cell to remain a
preset size. I should only need to look at the address rarely and in normal
circumstances only when I do a mailshot. Many thanks

I think you need to resize it afterwards again.

Many thanks Carlo, that was my thought too, but I hoped there might be a way
to do it automatically!
