Thanks both for your swift reply!

WOW! [falling off the chair]

I have always wondered what this Visual Basic editor was good for. Compliled
a few macros once in a while but never got to see what the rest of the
iceberg was all about. Thanks a lot!

If I may, I have 2 follow-ups:

1) It seems it could be worth spending a few hours getting to know the
commands available in the Visual Basic editor. What in your opinion woud be a
good way to go about it? Shall I just read the helpfiles or is there a good
'Dummies' book or something that is more accessible (although the 'for
Dummies' books I have look into for other applications have always been too
simple for my purposes.)

2) After running the 'Selection.Range.ListFormat.ConvertNumbersToText' the
cells of my table became vertically bigger since there is some kind of
carriage return after each number. If I place the cursor after each number
and hit the delete button whatever there is is deleted and the cell will
contain nothing else but my number and the size of the cell will go back to
its original size 'single row size'. Now, trying to search/replace(with
nothing) to get rid of this in the whole table I realise that it is not a
carriage return nor a paragraph mark nor a blank space. I really miss the
WordPerfect 5.1 from 1995 where I could call up a code window and see how
each line in a document is formatted and thus find out what kind of
character/element I should search for in my search/replace endeavour. How can
I find this out? I guess the VB editor may become involved but I could not
manage by myself.

Thanks a lot!
