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. hth Carlo On Nov 6, 8:19 am, "Peter" wrote: 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.

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 Carlo, that was my thought too, but I hoped there might be a way
to do it automatically! Peter "carlo" wrote in message oups.com...
