Insert a helper column, and input this formula:
=A1&"*"

Copy down as needed. Then do a Copy, Paste Special - Values only onto column
A.

insert a "helper" column next to A. (it should be column B) in B1 enter
=a1&"*" and copy it down. Then copy/paste special to turn the column into
values.

You could run this lil macro.

Option Explicit

Sub thestar()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Range("A:A")
If c.Value <> "" Then
c = c.Value & "*"
End If
Next
End Sub

HTH
