Hi Everyone,

I have a longggg list of words in excel, 10,000 columns long. I need to copy/drag each word into a single text box/field in an external application and do that 10,000 times. Laborious!

Is there a way to simulate the TAB character between each word within excel (E.g. word1<TAB>word2<TAB>word3<TAB>) all in one cell of course, so that if I was to drag/copy this cell from excel and then drop/paste it into the first text box of the external application, the first box would contain word1, the second box word2 etc...

word1

word2

word3

Thanks in Advance,

Lipster

Broken link? PM me and I'll send you the file!
