copy text wrapped cell from word to excel Office 2007
When I try to copy text that has been wrapped in a word table it pops it into
excel on three lines instead of the cell. Can anyone help me out on this? |
copy text wrapped cell from word to excel Office 2007
This isn't new with xl2007.
Saved from a previous post: If your cells in your word table contain paragraph mark or linebreak characters, then excel will bring them over as separate cells. One way around it is to convert those paragraph marks & linebreaks to unique characters, then copy|paste and then convert them back to linefeeds. I like this technique (inside a copy of the word file): Select your table. Edit|replace|Special (show More if required) Find what: (paragraph mark under Special button) replace with: $$$$$ (if $$$$$ doesn't appear in the table) replace all Same thing with Manual Line break (from under Special). Now copy the table into Excel. Edit|Replace Replace what: $$$$$ Replace with: ctrl-j (hit and hold the control key and hit j) replace all. You may have to use Format|cells|Alignment tab|check wrap text Don't forget to close the word document without saving (or hit undo as many times as necessary). gemofnj wrote: When I try to copy text that has been wrapped in a word table it pops it into excel on three lines instead of the cell.
