Converting irregular Word table to spreadsheet
I am using Office Professional Edition 2003
I want to convert a list of members of a club and their contact details into a spreadsheet database. The form of each record in Word is: membership type (in upper case), name, address, phone number (if any), fax (if any), email (if any), for example ACTIVE Bill Gates Office in the Sky 25 The Long Road The Big City State, Code COUNTRY Phone: 123 4567 8910 Fax: 123 4567 8910 Email: Each line in each record terminates with a line break, and each record terminates with a paragraph mark. The problem is that the records are not uniform because: a.. the addresses differ in number of lines b.. COUNTRY is omitted if not USA c.. the Phone, Fax and Email details are omitted if none I want to end up with each type, name, address (single field will be OK), Phone, Fax and Email each in separate fields. Any suggestions please? Howard |

Converting irregular Word table to spreadsheet
I'm grateful for the offer Don, but the list is highly confidential.
Could I perhaps send you some specimens of typical records with the data altered to protect confidentiality? Then perhaps you might be able recommend a routine to apply to the whole file.

You give me the newsgroup and the subject line 3. You send a clear explanation of what you want 4. You send before/after examples and expected results. -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "Howard" wrote in message ...

Send a file with/without dummy data. I don't care about the data only a LOT
of samples of the layout. -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "Howard" wrote in message ... I'm grateful for the offer Don, but the list is highly confidential.
