That's the problem I'm having... I want to keep FASTA format (so I can
plug it into ClustalW, etc), which is difficult to do because of the
newline after the fasta title.
Manually in excel, I could fit the whole FASTA into a cell, I think it
was converted to a string (when I copy-pasted it into clustalw, it
would be in  " ").
Is there a way to ignore the newline between description and sequence?

Thanks,
