[Word to excel]

I receive reports from our storage facility in word format. I would like to
create a searchable spreadsheet from the list. Is there a way to import the
word document into an excel spreadsheet?. The word report is not in tabler
form.

Did you try it? Copying a list from Word and pasting it into Excel
works for me. Each paragraph goes into a separate row; if the words in
a line are separated by tabs, that puts them in separate columns.

If you would like a table in Word -- whether to transfer to Excel or
just to improve the appearance in Word -- select the text and click
Table Convert Text To Table (in Word 2007, click Insert Table
Convert Text To Table).
