Copying word tables of different column width to excel.
Hi, I have a huge word document which has so many tables and some text. I
want to convert this document into excel sheet. Example: In 1 table the first column is "No." which needs as less space to enter a single digit number, whereas in the next table, the first column has some other data, that will need space for upto 15 words!!!! This is when the problem arises. I cannot have the tables one below the other in excel sheet.. Is there a method to optimise this??? PS. I have nearly 40 tables like this!!! Thanks!! |

Copy each table to a different worksheet, and auto-adjust column width.

Copying word tables of different column width to excel.
Hi Ardus Petus, Thanks for your answer, but as I mentioned, I have over 40
tables and if I use different work sheets, it would distort the format of the docuiment abruptly. Can some one please help me with this?

Copying word tables of different column width to excel.
Hi AP, Thanks again. But actually I wanted to know whether there is any other
method to replace these tables.... and not to have different column widths with 1 column. Thanks. "Ardus Petus" wrote: You cannot have different column width within one column of a worksheet. Cell merging makes things even worse. HTH -- AP "Kazuki" a écrit dans le message de news: ...
