Use Replace Tool

Just use "replace", found on the "edit" menu , and replace all spaces with no spaces .

eg in "Find What" just type one space by hitting space bar... then click the "Replac All" button

Note: make sure you select the range you want this to occur on .

hi thanks guys

just a few things, which i should have also mentioned .. how to deal with the capital letters.. i'd like all words in a cell to be reduced to lower...

NOrie, with your solution, it works, but where you have two capital letters it doesn't work, only with changing the first word to lower case....

eg. The Cat

becomes: theCat

how to change all words, every character to lower?

Jindon, I've tried yorus and it batches it all together with no spaces, but

still doesn't work to reduce the capital...

The Cat becomes:

Norie, i could use find and replace, but the capital letters will still remain...

any help with collapsing space and reducing capital for all words in a cell?

thanks in advance..

=LOWER(SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(32),""))
