Can one convert Excel Document to Word?

[Brightbelt]

Hi,
I need to convert my Excel Spreadsheet to a Word document.

Is there a safer way to do this, such that I could keep as much of the table
formatting as possible?

I'm hoping there is a way to do it that would diminish the need to reset all
the alignments and columns etc.

Many Thanks, Frank B.

No you can't "convert" an Excel workbook to a Word document [or any other
type of file format for that matter]. You can use Save As to output a copy
in a variety of file types, but that isn't going to give you what you want -
at least not without additional work

Open the Excel file, select the range of cells & copy. Then go into a Word
doc & paste. If that doesn't give you the result you prefer, Undo, then go
to Edit> Paste Special & try one of the other options.

Ok, Yes, I figured that was my best option. The irony is that - if memory
serves - this copy and paste worked much better this time on a Mac than past
times using a PC.

Go figure, but then my memory may be off.

Many Thanks for your response....Frank

Hi Frank - Why does it surprise you that *anything* works better on a
Mac?

Seriously, there could be any number of reasons why copy/paste may have
provided less than desirable results on any given occasion - PC or Mac. The
important point is the availability of the Paste Special feature which many
users have a tendency to overlook. Perhaps that would have helped in your
past experiences.

Glad I could help!
