I already tried that. I had copied the special character and pasted into the
find search field. However when doing a replace or replace all I get a
message that nothing has been found.

I don't see the that character on the spreadsheet but when clicking on a
cell with a value I see it in the formular bar. If I click next to that flag
in the formular bar the flag also becomes visable in the cell. And removing
the flag shifts the cell value to the left.

Any other ideas?

Using Outlook 2003 on a Vista Business system i want to export some of my
contracts to Excel 2003.

The export works great but when going into Excel each cell with a value
has a ' in front of the value. I would have to delete that special
character from each of the cells.



In Excel just do a "Find" and Replace with nothing.
