Hi all,

I have a long vertical list of companies with their addresses, phone numbers, names of directors, etc. ALL of it fits into one column. Let's say, Column B.

My ultimate goal is to make a mail merge. BUT I am spending an extraordinary amount of time transposing EACH company's info into IT'S OWN horizontal line so it will fit into column headings and therefore make it easy to do a mail-merge. Let's say: C - Z.

I'm imagining I can keep all the information in Column B, move the column headings from C - Z and transpose them into column B, and then do a mail merge from there.

Possible?

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
I'll go out on a limb and say not possible.
