Excel 2007 - Macro to do a simple cut/paste operation.

Hello all,
I've done a search of this forum as well as a google and can't seem to find
exactly what I'm looking for. Here's my question:

I have a spreadsheet that contains the data exported from an Outlook contact
list that was corrupted in Outlook. The corruptions seem to follow enough of
a pattern that having an Excel macro to assist would really speed up my
"repair" of this data so I can then import it back into a new Outlook contact
list.

Here's what I want to do:
Cut the data (it's only simple text, no formulas, etc.) from a cell, move
down to the cell below, then paste that data there.
When I try to record a macro for this, it records the "cut" operation but
nothing after that. It won't record the moving down to the next cell ( I just
used the down-arrow key ), and it doesn't do the "paste".
When I look at the macro in the VB editor, I see the code for the "cut" but
that's all.

I'm sure there's something simple that I'm missing, but don't know what it is.

Any help/suggestions appreciated.
 
As always, post your efforts
try this idea

activecell.cut activecell.offset(1)
 
Thanks Don, your code works perfectly.
Can you tell me why Excel's "Record" macro doesn't seem to see the
arrow-down or paste?
