Copying and pasting data from cells

Hello,

I am using Microsoft Office 2013. I have a huge Excel spreadsheet of data I need to copy text from and paste into Notepad. I've tried finding a solution searching online and this forum without success.

The issue is, when I try and copy text from a line of roughly 13 cells in a row, when I paste that data into Notepad, the spacing between the text from each cell is always different. Each cell only contains one word.

How do I force Excel to only have one space between each cell when I copy data out of it for pasting?

Thanks.

This is a great idea, thank you.

The only problem is that the words I am copying and pasting are being randomly generated from a word list in Excel. Is there any way I can force Excel to only have a single space between cells when copying and pasting?

TMS - another excellent idea, thank you so much. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. Also nice its from a fellow Englander!

My requirement is very unusual, I need to constantly renew the randomly generated cells and copy and paste the result as fast as possible over and over again. Its weird I know! Its for a academic work regarding random word generation.

Because of my requirement I need to stay within Excel so the copying and pasting can be fired off in quick succession. Do you think this isn't going to be possible?

I'm going to try a few other systems (Google Docs, Open Office etc) to see if I have any joy.
