Note:
Delimiters: select Other and in the little box to the right type 010 using the *numeric keypad while holding down the ALT key* When you type the number code 010, nothing will appear in the little box but don't worry about that.. That is not a printable character. Biff "Biff" wrote in message ... "Carrguy" wrote in message ... "Biff" wrote: Hi!

OK, believe it or not, it's easier to parse A1 using Text to Columns and then "rebuild" the original entry. You can insert a new column A. Then, enter this formula in A1: =B1&CHAR(10)&C1&CHAR(10)&D1&CHAR(10)&E1 Format the cell to wrap text: Select the cell Goto the menu FormatCellsAlignment tab Under Text Control, select Wrap text OK out You may have to widen the column to get it to display properly.
