Thanks for all of your suggestions. I am going to try some of this out today.

If you put the mergefield names (assuming that there is a header row in the .csv table) in the cells of a one row table, when you execute the merge to a new document, the document will contain a table with one row for each record in the datasource. You could then copy and paste that table into your document. Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Pat Dools" wrote in message ... Due to quality control constraints I am not permitted to use excel at all, which is making this a challenge. What I need to do: I have about 40 different tables, each with different formatting. Every month I will get data that needs to go into each of these separate 40 tables . The data from the old table will have to be deleted and the new data will need to go in. Rather than reconstruct the whole table, I would love to save the shell (headers/spacing) and just bring in the new data, since the formatting has to be really specific. The statistician will send me a word doc with the data in a comma delimited format. Is there anyway to put this data into a table without having to reformat the table each time? Many thanks.

Excel can read csv data directly, so if you have a spreadsheet set up with the columns formatted as you need them, most of the tabulation formatting can happen automatically. You can embed the Excel tables in a Word document, if you need to dress them up further. "Pat Dools" wrote in message ... I have data from a statistician that needs to be put in specifically formatted tables. She usually sends me that data in a word document, csv style and I need to rework that data into a table. Since we might run and rerun the data several times over the course of the month and the specific formatting for each table is pretty specific, I was wondering if there is anyway to set all of the tables structure and then import the data into the body of the tables. My thoughts we to create a template, but I am not sure if that is the way to go. I am not sure exactly where to post this, or if this can be done. Thanks for any guidance you can give me. -- Pat Dools |
