RE: Removing " from a cell

Dear Sally

Thank you for attending Excel Intermediate Course. I hope you enjoyed the training.

This is a common error that appears when you try import data from other source.

The solution is quiet Straight forward.

Step 1: Click anywhere inside the data
Step 2: Choose [b]Edit> Replace

Excel tip:

Change the default location for opening and saving spreadsheets

If you are always opening spreadsheets from and/or saving documents to a specific location that is not My Documents, save time by setting this folder as the default for opening files from and saving files to.

Here's how:
1. Go to Tools - Options.

2. Select the General tab.

3. Enter the pathname of the folder you wish to make the default in the Default File Location box (hint: it will be easier to use Windows Explorer to navigate to this folder, then copy and paste the pathname from the address bar at the top of the Windows Explorer screen).

4. Click OK.

You have now changed the default folder for opening and saving spreadsheets.
