I have a Word 2000 document in three tabbed columns (not a table). How can
I convert this to Excel so that the columns are retained in separate cells?

In Word: Table, Convert, Text to Table(using the tabs as separator).
Then select the "new" table and Copy paste to Excel.

Please don't post attachments here. Before you convert the text to a table,
add or remove tab characters so that there are the same number in each
paragraph. If you have used more than one tab character in order to use
Word's built-in tab stops, DON'T! Set a specific tab stop for each column;
use more than one tab character only when a column is empty. See

Hi Suzanne, I did not post any attachments. I do not see any paper clips in
my news reader (Outlook Express).
Is there a problem with my reader?

My reply was to Peter, who posted an attachment, visible in OE (but not in
the Web interface).
