Hello,
I have a sheet of downloaded email messages. Can anyone help with a macro to delete lines above the message body, in all the cells in that column? I have been searching for a long time, found a macro which will work on one cell, but can't get it to work on all the cells in the column.

I also need to remove empty lines within those same cells (so there is just 1 line break between text)
Thank you :confused:

The text copy pasted from the cells:
Subject:

[Ticket#...

From:

[sender

Date:

10/8/16 4.00 a.m.

To:

[recipient



[need to keep this line to end of the cell]Hi there...
======================
The macro I have got so far:
Code:
Sub C___DRAFT_REMOVE_1ST_8_LINES_IN_1_SELECTED_CELL_SingleSelectionCellOnly()

'SELECT CELL 1ST

'TO DO: make it repeat down through a multiple cell selection!(COLUMN TO END OF SHEET)
    ary = Split(ActiveCell.Value, Chr(10))
    t = ""
    For I = 8 To UBound(ary)
        t = t & Chr(10) & ary(I)
    Next I

    If Len(t) > 1 Then
        t = Mid(t, 2)
    Else
        t = ""
    End If
    ActiveCell.Value = t
End Sub

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
