    removing paragraph mark

    Hello,
    The problem that I am having is that when I move the value from a textbox to a cell, I get the paragraph marks. Is there any way to remove them?

    You can try copying that symbol, then go to Edit|Replace and paste it there and replace with nothing....
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    What's your end goal? Should the cell show text on multiple lines in the same manner the line feeds provide in the text box? If so, just format those cells with Wrap Text.

    Or do you simply want to strip out the line feeds and get run-on text? In that case you'll have to strip the characters with a REPLACE() command.

    Please post your code (in code tags, please) and point out where you're looking for the adjustment.

    Ok, It is actually putting a question mark in a square. When I click on the cell they disappear, but reappear when I exit the cell

    This is the only code that I have for this.

    It is a userform with a large typing area and the 3rd textbox (textbox3) is meant for a lot of typing from the end user. But when it transfers the symbols are there.
