Can a Word doc be changed to an Excel doc?
I have a Word document that I now wish was in Excel format and don't really
want to start all over again (It's a fairly complex table). I am just using it to print a form so I'm not using any formulas. I have some shaded areas which aren't shaded anymore when I photocopy them. I wanted to change the shading to a pattern fill (ie crosshatch lines, etc) so the photcopier would copy them properly but I don't think this can be done in Word!! only in Excel. So I was wondering if anyone knows how to either fill a cell with a pattern in Word or else save a Word file as an Excel document so I can fill the cells there. Thanks in advance. Cal |

On the Shading tab of the Format | Borders and Shading dialog, scroll down
to the bottom of the list of patterns. -- Suzanne S.
