Tea? Pah...coffee man, burnt black and lots of it! This worked great! I NEVER wooda figgered it out. Thanks. FYI, highlighting the entire worksheet gave me a selection too large error. I did it by doing 25 columns at a time. Took a while but b-i-n-g-o...no blank cells. AWESOME. -----Original Message----- From: Ray Blake [mailto:ray@xxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Friday, August 22, 2003 5:51 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Excel:Blank Cells Glenda, First, make sure the last cell on the sheet is not blank. Get there quickly with CTRL+down arrow, CTRL+right arrow. Put an entry there. Now select the whole sheet (use the corner block in the top left or CTRL+A). From the Edit menu, select Go to, then at the dialogue, hit the 'Special' button and select 'Blanks'. Go and make some tea. It will take a minute or so to highlight every blank cell. When it has, type your dummy string or character, then instead of pressing enter, press CTRL+enter. Time for another cup at his point. When you come back, every blank cell will now contain your text. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
