Hi

I am doing my taxes and need to find a way to convert my broker's 1099B
(stocks transactions during the year) from a text pdf form or Word
document into an excel format. Is there a way to do this?

I can receive my 1099B data from my broker as a pdf or as a printed
statement. But I need it in the form of a Excel spreadsheet with
multiple columns. As a small example (the list is much longer which is
why I am asking), I put a representative sample copied and pasted from
the pdf into Word the same data copied and pasted from the pdf to an
Excel document. They are at:

http://www.orthohelp.com/1099b.xls

Is there a way to convert this into an excel spreadsheet format with
data columns that I can manipulate?

Thanks.

Jeff
