"Can someone here teach how to copy all text from 1996 California Proposition 218 - Wikipedia into a single cell so in future I can read the text in the top box? Please refer to my post#8. You can see after copying and pasting all the text, the last character it shows is "expres", after that a lot of characters not copied into the cell. Thanks."
--- I think sygnus21 could help you best on that.
"Maybe it is already written somewhere in some of your answers, but I could not figure out how to do it. Can you write in step by step form, e.g. if I want to bold a text in Excel, I would write 1. click [home] in top menu>2. use mouse to select text>3. click [B] icon."
--- Your way works but I select the word I want to bold and press ctrl+B.
I copied/pasted "all text from 1996 California Proposition 218 - Wikipedia" into a txt document.
Copy/pasted into a Word document. Closed up all paragraph spaces: naturally not the sentences.
Results: Characters no spaces) 135,708. Characters (with spaces) 159,289.
With the information I got, you should be able to accomplish what you want to do.
--- However, you haven't let us know how many characters to have to work with.
--- Do you know what that is?
--- Is it less than "the limit of 167,336 recorded characters"
Now I wish I would have gotten the count before closing up all paragraphs to no spacing but to see how much of a difference it would have made.
