A lot of document creators (especially business owners) wind up in situations where quite a bit of simple, tedious work needs to be completed. This includes a broad range of potential problems but one of the most prevalent is the need to change/add text into many Excel cells at one time. This is particularly frequent when large spreadsheets of information need to be properly changed. It is also typical for students who wish to adjust lab reports or other Excel spreadsheets. This addition of text generally takes a simple 'copy' and 'paste' action where text is simply added to a cell in the spreadsheet. While this is an easy task, the repetition and monotony can quickly wear on an individual.
At present, the 'best' free method available is the time-tested method of opening each spreadsheet, manually changing each cell in the spreadsheet, saving the file, and then closing each document. This type of work is very simple to do but demands large blocks of time. In Excel, it can be as simple as typing the desired text and dragging a box around the preferred cells to copy information into them. For a business attempting to update its files, this may need to be done to thousands of cells in different spreadsheets. One option is to allocate resources toward the task until it is complete. This may then have an individual involved for hours, days, or even weeks based upon the volume of spreadsheets waiting to be edited. Normally everyone's time is better spent on other, more productive tasks.

From here, any number of cells within the spreadsheet may be chosen. Then, click the 'Add Custom Text to Cells' tab. There are then six different options for text alterations in the documents. These modifications are split into two different sections. The top section has three separate options: one to add text at the beginning of each cell(s), add text to the end of each cell, and finally adding text at 'X' numerical position in each cell. The lower customization section permits for a custom phrase to be entered and then text to be added before or after this custom phrase. There is also the capability for the custom phrase to be located and then replaced.
