Can I create an Excel spreadsheet from a Word doc?
Hi. I'm new to this so please bear with me.
I have 30 surveyors forms in Microsoft Word. I need to transfer each one to it's own Excel Spreadsheet. I am not programmer-literate, so I'm totally clueless as to how to do this. Can you help? Thanks, Connie |

Can I create an Excel spreadsheet from a Word doc?
It really depends on the layout of the forms.
Just for fun you could TRY this In Word, Edit-SelectAll, Edit-Copy In Excel, Edit-Paste and see what happens... Why do you want to convert them to spreadsheets, are you planning to have calculated fields etc on them? Cheers, Chris. "rdnckgrl" wrote in message ... Hi. I'm new to this so please bear with me.

Can I create an Excel spreadsheet from a Word doc?
Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I'll try it. As for "why", I won't know til
I see them. All I know is my boss called to tell me that's what I'll be doing Monday. I just wanted to have an idea of how to do it beforehand.

Can I create an Excel spreadsheet from a Word doc?
Another thing you could try, is to save the Word file as HTML (It's an
option in the SaveAs Dialog box - 'Save As Type') Then you can open them as HTML files in Excel. This will really only work sensibly if the files are mostly Tables in Word. If they are all text boxes and complicated formatting, with columns and stuff, you will probably just get a mess in Excel. If they are not huge files, you might want to consider creating them from scratch in Excel, and just cutting/pasting any large chunks of text across...(?) I'll look out for you here on Monday... :-) Have a nice weekend, Chris. "rdnckgrl" wrote in message ... Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I'll try it. As for "why", I won't know til I see them.
