import email addresses into an excell list
I have hundreds of email addresses in Word format. I would like to import
them into Excel and have them appear on different rows. When I copy and paste all the new additions go to one row. When I import a special object it stays in a box that floats. |

Not familiar with the effect you describe, but one thing I would try
would be to use Pure Text to convert the data in the clipboard to plain text and then paste that. Even if it doesn't help you to this problem -- it is a utility that you will use often. PureText,2.0, Steve P.Miller, paste copied text as simple text into another application without getting all the formatting from the original source http://www.stevemiller.net/puretext/ it will remove hyperlinks, and remove all cell formatting leaving only text, it will preserve new lines, so it should paste to separate rows. if the original data was in separate rows. -- --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Big John" <Big wrote in message ...

I had solved the problem by going through my list and hitting enter after every address. There were hidden spaces and hidden open lines. Once I had the list sanitized, it went right in. I am going to try pure text, because it sounds like it would do the work for you. Thanks again. |

Hi John,
For the problem you just described, TrimALL macro would have solve your problem -- didn't sound like same problem when you first described it. http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/join.htm#trimall You might have to get more information on what to remove or change with the newlines problem. Excel only uses CHAR(10) so you would have to figure out what to to with CHAR(13). (CRLF is x'0D0A) Don't just remove them as you would at least need a space, you might do something in a new subroutine (different name) that incorporates everyting in the TrimALL macro plus the following:: Selection.Replace What:=Chr(13)&Chr(10), Replacement:=Chr(32), _ LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False Selection.Replace What:=Chr(13, Replacement:=Chr(32), _ LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False Selection.Replace What:=Chr(10), Replacement:=Chr(32), _ LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Big John" wrote in message ...
