Re: [AI] Type dash in excel cell
Dear Umesha, Thank you. It's working fine. Only I have to take care to use enter key rather than arrow key. Good night. Regards Mukesh Baviskar Mobile: 9403161157 -- From: "Umesha Economics" Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2012 6:49 PM To: Subject: Re: [AI] Type dash in excel cell dear mukesh, as I checked with excel XP, it worked. one thing you have to ensure. after typing dash, press enter and do not use arrow keys to go to another cell. otherwise, excel tries to insert a formula. if you type 2 or more dashes, after pressing enter key, you may get an error message box. ignore it and hit another enter. I hope the same holds with later versions of excel also.
