Moving Text from Word table to Excel
I'm trying to move some text from a table cell in Word XP to a cell in Excel XP, but it puts the information in multiple cells...I want all the data to fit into ONE cell in Excel. How do you do that?

thanks

Copy the data then double click on the cell within Excel and paste the data while editing the cell.

Or click on the cell you want and then paste the data into the formula bar at the top.

Aye that works as well. If we are going through the different ways of editing a cell then F2 will edit a cell as well if any of you are hotkey people.
