Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Select the range that contains the names and goto Data-->Text To Columns-->Delimited-->Comma-->Finish.

Make sure that you have a blank column to the right beforehand though.

Hope that helps,

Smitty
