Just go to D19 and hit Del button, the whole line will appear in full.\nReason is you got a spacebar entry in Cell D19, so its not showing on the formula bar and cutting the line start from A19 there.

You could use conditional formatting on the cells where you are entering your data.  But you actually don't need to do conditional formatting, it's just that you can get smoother more interesting effects if you do.  An easier way might be a simple formula.\n\nIt sounds like you are entering data that uses Case numbers, but if you have already entered a case, you don't want to do it again.  Obviously you could just search the case number column to see if it already exists and if so, then skip entering it.  But a more automated way would be easier.\n\nThe essence of what you need to do is use a formula to tell you if what you just entered already exists in the rows above. (To use your example, does case 24 exist already in the rows above A27?)\n\nYou could insert a (temporary) column to the left of what you are typing in.  In that column you would enter a formula to count the number of instances where the case number you just entered already exists above.  Usually the result would be 1, sometimes 2.\n\nLets say you are on row 27 and your case numbers are in column B, and your counting column is column A.  Lets assume your data starts on row 2 at the top of the spreadsheet.  Your formula for cell A27 would be:\n=IF(COUNTIF($B$2:B27,B27)>1, "Exists Already!", "")\n\nNotice the $ signs in the Countif formula.  The formula range will adjust as appropriately as you copy it around.  You want to get this formula on every line next to every case number so that it can alert you if it seen there is more than once instance.\n\n(Actually the Data Validation mentioned below is a better solution because it will prohibit you from entering the data.  But it's all the same principle. Just more elegant because you don't need to insert a new column.)

This is cool.  Use the Print Area function.  From File menu, choose Print Area.  Choose to clear it, first of all.  Then highlight all the portions of your spreadsheet that you wish to print.  \n\nYou can highlight sections that are not next to each other (noncontiguous) by using the CTRL key while blocking w/the mouse.  So, for example, use the mouse to highlight columns A and B.  Let go of the mouse button and see that those areas are highlighted. Without doing anything more (don't click anywhere, don't use an arrow key, etc.), press down the CTRL key and then click on column D. You will then see that columns A,B and D are highlighted (but not C).  You can choose your own print area in this fashion.  \n\nAfter you've gotten your print area highlighted, go to the File menu, choose Print Area, and choose Set Print Area.  Now only the things that were highlighted are going to print.  You can see this on the print preview screen. \n\nEnjoy!

Try to paste your data to a simpler text editor such as notepad! (start->run->notepad)\n\nIf you really need to paste it to ms-word, paste it to notepad first, then copy it from notepad and paste it to ms-word!

Can't do that in Excel. The best thing you can do is type your headings in row 1 in each column.

Are you trying to get rid of the blanks?\n\nOne way is just to sort the column--that will pull all the blanks to the top or bottom, where they are easy to delete.\n\nIf you need to keep the order that values are in, try this:\n\n1. Select the entire column.\n2. On the edit menu, choose "Go to..." then click "Special..."\n3. In the box that comes up, choose "Blanks" and hit OK.\n\nYou should now be back in the sheet, with all the blank cells selected.  Right click, choose "Delete...", then choose "Shift cells up" and hit OK.\n\nThis is for excel 2002, it might be a little different in other versions.

There are two options to handle the situation -\n\n1) Use Format > Cells > Alignment > Set Text alignment in vertical to Top & Text control to Wrap text, then readjust the row height to the normal height (instead of showing the whole contents)\n\n2) Create a column that only shows the first 5 characters of the A column - in B column enter formula =left(A1,5), then hide the whole A column now use the B column as the original A

to do something like that in word you would have to convert the text into a table (found under the table menu) then sort the table (sort is also found in the table menu)
