What I'd now like todo is to change the contents of the first name
column from left(1;x-1) to John or Jane, and the last name column
likewise, from being a formula which displays as a name to being a
name.


Select, then Copy Special at the same place with Formula option unchecked.

Sorry, Jean-Francois.  There is no Copy Special.  Only Paste Special.  And 
Paste Special does not have a Formula option.

Ooops! Yes, it should read Paste special, sorry for the typo. And I 
confirm there *is* a Formula option :)

Ah, thanks.  I didn't realise that, by select, you meant I had to copy the 
cells in question.  When I copied them first, it worked exactly as you said.

Thanks for the help.
