In article 2b20f7b4-2839-4dd4-80fc-d78602aa81c8 @q78g2000hsh.googlegroups.com, says... I have a Word document with a table set up (to print mailing labels, in 2 columns). And a plain text document with addresses. I'd like to insert the addresses into the Word table, _without_ using Mail Merge. ... Can I manipulate the text file in such a way that I can paste the text into the Word doc.with each address on a different label? Word has a command to convert text to a table. Table, Convert, Text to Table in Word 2003. If you look in the help system you will find the details on how your text should be set up for this command to work Thanks for your reply. I have Word 2000, and know about Convert Text to Table. It creates a table from existing text. That table would not be of the right size and shape to print out on to address labels. What I would like to do is paste text into a _pre-existing_ table in such a way that it flows into cells of the table in a controllable way. I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear. By the way, in Word 2000, as far as I know, if the text is arranged in a single column, Convert Text to Table produces a table with one column. That's no good to me. Thanks again for your reply, David |
