Import text to Excel
I have a problem when importing text to Excel (2003).
I have a Word-document with 1 000 paragraphs. Some of the paragraphs only have one short line of text but most of them consist of several lines of text separated by a manual line break. It is crucial to keep the line breaks. When I paste the data into Excel the text is placed in cells on a "line-by-line" basis and not paragraph by paragraph. Each line of text in the word document is placed in its own cell. I want each paragraph to go in one cell and on the same time keep the manual line breaks inside the cell. I guess part of the problem is that in Excel a hard line break is Alt+Enter and in Word Shift+Enter. Anyone got a workaround for this? -- Fredrik E. Nilsen |

It doesn't differentiate between a paragraph mark and a manual line break. Manually adjusting column width does not help as the length of the lines vary. -- Fredrik E. Nilsen |
