Hi all,
I have a word file in which the data have been entered in two columns
without the table being created. *A tab seperates the two columns in
every line of the data as shown below:
4.223391 244.140625
4.149764 488.281250
4.204984 488.281250
4.315426 244.140625
4.333833 244.140625
This data table actually has more than few thousands of lines. *I need
to select only the first column and copy it to another notepad file or
excel or another word file. Can anybody help me doing this? I dont
care if the second column gets deleted completly.

Using Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C, then go to Excel and with a single cell
selected use
Ctrl+V. doesnt help at all. I bet you didnt try this procedure with
the sample data I have produced here. If you copy paste the data into
the excel cell, all the data gets copied into the single cell that you
have chosen; although it appears as if its split.
regards,
Vishwas
