When it comes to manipulating text, I think you hit the nail on the head with the most useful tools. Here's a couple of shortcuts that I like: A shortcut for concatenate is =A1&" "&B1. A shortcut instead of typing the $'s is F4. Hitting the F4 key toggles the dollar signs around your cell reference. Best practice is to include the $ signs in front of both letter and number. Another tool I love is the Text to Columns feature. Let's say you have a list of keywords all separated by a comma and you want to separate them into individual cells. Text to Columns will do that for you. .-= Mike Campbell´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.louisvillesoup.com/2009/08/twitter-is-dying-and-what-to-do-about.html" rel="nofollow">Twitter is dying and what to do about it.</a> =-.
