    When scripting in Excel can you use notepad?

    I'm looking to do some very basic things with Excel....need to copy a few lines of text and have the text outputted into particular format...example

    inputted text is something like

    Example 1: Name
    Example 2: Address
    Example 3: Phone

    Outputted text

    The *NAME* goes here and the *ADDRESS* goes here and finally the *PHONE* goes here.

    Any idea on how I can do that using textpad?

    Thanks

    It's not clear what you mean, why use Notepad?
    Hope that helps.

    Roy's suggestion is that you post a workbook with before and after examples.
