I copied and pasted ou remployment app which is in Word 2000 and pasted it in
Excel. The document contains tables. Do i need to take the text out of the
tables before copying and pasting? What steps do i need to take?

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.

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?

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.
