Hi folks,
I have to convert a long table from Word to an Excel one.
The first column of the WORD table is a hierarchical outline, like

1.
1.1
1.1.1
1.1.2
2.
.....

When copying the whole table and pasting it in Excel, Excel converts
some outlines to dates:

1.1 becomes 1.Jan
1.2.3 becomes 1.Feb 2003
But, it is interessting: not all so formated outlines are converted.

The outline looks in Excel like this:

1.
1. Jan
1. Jan 01
....


Any idea how to prevent that? - One possibility would be to edit the
WORD source and append a final period to each outline, but I do not
want to touch the WORD source.
Thanx
Michael
