This post does not belong here but I tried the Office Group but got no
answer and here I always get a solution.
I would like to ask if there is a way that I can add the same text to
existing text in all cells in column. Each cell has deferent text. I have
office XP.

You seem to be asking about Excel, running under WinXP.
Your general answer is yes: it ought to be possible to write
a macro that appends a fixed text string to a different text
string in a cell, and can be applied to multiple cells.

Assuming the existing text is in column A, you could use the following
function to create a new column. Then just copy and paste the new cell
formula to all cells within the new column.

=CONCATENATE(A1,"your_added_text")

Easier: Once you put the code into the top cell of the column, grab the
lower right corner of the cell with the mouse and drag down to fill the
column, or there's probably even an easier way, though for some reason Fill

Select the new cell and copy it (Ctrl-C). Now click the top of the new
column to highlight the whole column and then paste (Ctrl-V).

The above works in Excel 5.0. I have no idea whether it works in
current versions of MS Office.

Re: Copy Cells Found

Probably does. Too bad I'll never remember it, <sigh>.
