Is there a way I can get Excel to recognize characters not used in American English? When I export my collection, my spreadsheet has difficulties with some of the words. Is there some way that I can update my excel to recognize other alphabets?
Thanks
Here is what you can do. It requires that you have a text editor that supports regular expressions (for example, Notepad++), but it will give you the correct characters instead of all those HTML &#nnn; codes.
Open the spreadsheet in Excel.
Select the D column
Copy
Now, open a text editor that supports regular expressions
Paste
Replace $ (end of line) with <br>. Your file should then look like this:
Save the file as x.htm
Open x.htm in your web browser
Hit Ctrl-A to select the entire file, copy
Go back to your Excel file, click on the I1 cell, paste, and save.
The D column has not changed. The "fixed" descriptions are in column I. I'm sure people are more than capable of cutting and pasting from one column to another, if they no longer need the original "broken" descriptions. ^^

Strictly speaking, you don't even need an editor that supports regular expressions. You can append the <br>'s right in Excel using the CONCATENATE function. So, instead of steps 4-7:
Go to cell I1 and enter this formula: =CONCATENATE(D1, "<br>")
Hit Ctrl-End and expand that formula all the way down to the last coin
Select column I, copy, paste into any text editor and save as x.htm
