adding extra text into an existing column
 
right now i have a column which lists drawing numbers (11549974) and such. i
want to just add "SH1" to the end of each drawing number. in the column,
there are several hundred listed. what code do i need to add the SH1 onto
the end without changing the existing number?

ex. 11579974 --- 11579974 SH1

Use a custom format, Zach. Format--Cells, choose the Number tab, then
Custom. Type the following into the box at top-right:

00000000" SH1"

Anne than you SO much. You just saved me several hours of work. I would
have otherwise had to go through and enter them by hand, one by one. Now to
fill the rest of my hours...
