    Changing phone #s list

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    What formula would I use to change a column of phone #s from for example:
    555-555-5555 to straight #s 15555555555 (adding the 1 and removing the dashes)?

    This is a CSV (coma delimited) file used as a fax list.

    Thank You
