defining table cells using empty lines
Hi, I have a large Word (2003) document consisting of item descriptions. Most
descriptions are more than a line long and each are separated by an empty line. I'd like to turn this into a table, but converting to table merely splits each separate line into a cell. I'd like each description to be in one cell. Is there any way to create a table where Word uses an empty line to mark each cell extent? Here's an e.g. of the data: 150 Yoke shafted and hump backed pin. Shank tapers to fine point and has rounded section. Displays general polish. (Ill. ). Context: Period VI: S Entrance; Middle Ditch E Terminal; laminated midden and weathered materials. Length: 69 mm. 151 Yoke shouldered and slightly hump backed pin. Shank tapers to point and has squarish section. Displays general polish. (Ill. ). Context: Period VI/VII: S Terminal of Outer Ditch in E Entrance Area Length: 61 mm. The data has originally come from an old text file converted into Word, therefore there are sometimes odd spacings between text characters and the numbers you see at the beginning of each record - which I'm sure may make it more difficult to do what I want to do. I'd like the data to go into excel eventually, so any suggestions involving taking the data straight into excel would be welcome too. Thanks very very much if someone could help! cheers, Jo |
