How do I copy from ie & paste to wks ss cell w/o comma separation?

Posted: 28 Oct 2004 07:37 PM PDT

Hi Jennifer,

The comma is a defined delimiter generally used for separation
and importation of several data items.

It may be overridden using the "text specifier" character "

Paste the copied text into a word processor.

Insert a double-quotation mark (") at the first character position.

Copy the text, including the inserted quotation mark.

Paste into a single cell of the spreadsheet.

Format>Alignment and check the 'Wrap text within a cell' option to
implement multi-lined format.

HTH,

Alt 0176 is the degree thingy; alt 0186 is a zero, like you would use
in showing a figure to the tenth power.
Blessed be, for sure...

Regarding the e-mail program, what mail program are you using? Is the mail server a POP3?

With a POP3 mail server, by default messages are downloaded to the PC's hard disk and
deleted from the server. If you try to view the mail with another PC or mail program, it
won't be on the server.

There are some ways to handle this depending on the type of mail server and programs
involved.

MS Works Calendar import problem

Posted: 26 Oct 2004 05:59 PM PDT

Thanks, Jeff. You are exactly right.
I started exporting 3 months at a time, then 6 months, then a year. The
largest file that I imported was 328KB. The file containing the entire
calendar was 854KB and that was too much.
Your help is much appreciated.

Jo
