Kelly,

You can also paste the column of object numbers from Excel into a blank
Word document. Once there, just click somewhere in the set you've pasted,
and choose 'Convert to Text' from the Layout tab.


Then simply do a Search & Replace against the text, replacing ^p with
whatever you'd like between each number (a space, a comma space, etc.). To
Chad's point, if you have spaces or commas within your object numbers, you
can search for ^p and replace with ' ' to wrap all but the first object
number in quotes. Then just copy/paste into an Object Number query in TMS.


​
​

Hope that helps!

Ian
