Is there a simple way of copying cell contents into one cell?

What I want to do is to get the contents (text) of several cells into one cell.
For example:
original cells:

apples
oranges
bananas
pears

outcome, one cell:
apples, oranges, bananas, pears

Cheers!

Take a look at CONCATENATE in the online help. That should give you what you need.

Also might try Edit-Fill -Justify

Thanks for that piece of advice. But what this command only does is to represent the values in the copied cells.

I cannot concatenate a number of cells and then edit the content. There is the text to columns command, what I need is something like the other way around.

you concatenate, then copy, then paste special... values.
