Help - How to copy word doc contents into a cell

[phdgrrl]

My boss will have my head if I don't figure this one out tonight. He wants
the text from the document (which can be long in some cases) embedded in the
cell - does not want the floating document. is there any way to do this? And
if so, is it a case of cut and paste each individual document? There are
about 70 of them. Thank you!

i dont know how long your documents are but i tried pasting some words into a
cell which didnt work very well.Paste them straight into the formula bar.My
sample was only 1016 characters including spaces.4056 characters worked too

Hi Paul! I have never really used Excel before, so this is mind boggling.
Thank you so much. The formula bar means what? Is that the same as the cell?
I am very appreciative of your kind help.

If you click view in the menu and then click on formula bar you'll bound to
see it, just repeat to get it back. Now first select a cell, then with the
mouse click in the formula bar, then paste
