Macro to Put Several Rows Into One

[lgerjets]

Hi! I am looking for a macro to put several rows of typed wording into one row of text. I copied a closed captioning transcript from a video into excel and it puts the entire script in short sections in several rows. I am hoping to be able to easiely condense it to then copy it into Word. Any thoughts?

Select the cells containing your text and then run this macro (it will join the text together using a space delimiter and place it in the cell next to the top cell of your selection)...

[table="width: 500"]
[tr]
	[td]Sub ConCatRowInSingleColumn()
  Selection(1).Offset(, 1) = Join(Application.Transpose(Selection.Value))
End Sub[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

HOW TO INSTALL MACROs
------------------------------------
If you are new to macros, they are easy to install and use. To install it, simply press ALT+F11 to go into the VB editor and, once there, click Insert/Module on its menu bar, then copy/paste the above code into the code window that just opened up. That's it.... you are done. To use the macro, go back to the worksheet with your data on it and press ALT+F8, select the macro name (ConCatRowInSingleColumn) from the list that appears and click the Run button. The macro will execute and perform the action(s) you asked for. If you will need to do this again in this same workbook, and if you are using XL2007 or above, make sure you save your file as an "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm) and answer the "do you want to enable macros" question as "Yes" or "OK" (depending on the button label for your version of Excel) the next time you open your workbook.
