Can I import Word docs into Excel cells?
I'm using Excel to do my taxes and would love to be able to import scanned
receipts and Word documents with notes into my tax spreadsheet -- a la the "insert a note" function -- to keep the entire year's tax data all in one spreadsheet. I'm figuring this cannot be done but maybe one of you wizards knows differently. Would very much appreciate your guidance. Thanks. |

Can I import Word docs into Excel cells?
To use the numbers for calculations in Excel the OCR application that came with
your scanner will have to be very good when you scan the receipts etc. in Text only format. Once into Excel, the numbers will probably show up as text. Format all to General, copy an empty cell. Select the numbers and Paste SpecialAddOKEsc.

Can I import Word docs into Excel cells?
There is a great little utility out there called SnagIt. If you scan your
receipts into a PDF then you can cut them out and paste them into your excel sheets and they will arrange nicely like little taped on notes. Snagit makes it easy to manage screen shots. Another option is to screen print to paint and cut them into your excel sheets that way. Paint uses the clipboard, so if you cut them from paint you can Ctrl +V into Excel or Word or where ever...its the low tech way to SnagIt.
