Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
You can also apply Data|Text to Columns to your data with Delimited as option and Space as delimiter. You can delete the column with numbers that you will get.

thanks - i decided to go with the replace option - it required less brain cells to execute.
