Default COPY & PASTE WORD Doc into EXCEL


To remove those 'bold' lines, select the rows that have the lines, then
right-mouse - Format Cells, - Border - and remove all borders that you
do not require.

well i am a beginner in excel and a friend of mine suggested this method
so i
tried it. What i notice is there are lines that go way across the page
that
look as if they've been bolded. i've tried deleting them but they wont
go
anywhere. you say at setup you remove the borders, what's your
procedure?

I usually just copy tables from Word to Excel, and then remove the
Borders as setup.

That you are asking this question would seem to indicate yours did

not
copy well, thus I would point out to you that Word is a processor of
text with some arithmetic capability, and Excel a processor of

numbers
with some text capability.

To simply copy and paste a document with Styles and paragraphs of

long
text will be unlikey to produce a similar look in Excel with it's

size,
display and print limitations.

Was there a purpose to this copy? - and has that purpose been

achieved,
or could you be more specific about any errors encountered.
