Moving word tabels to excel

[Liz]

Hello everyone,
I have to change an 84 page word document (which is all
tables of written information) into excel. I know you
can "paste special" but I need the data from Word to be
in appropriate cells not superimposed above the
spreadsheet.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do??

The Word tables contain lots of bullet points etc. You
can't use this function in excel and you can't make
spaces in cells. Do I need to put each point in
seperately?

The reason why I have to change the info into excel is
that it needs to be updated every 6 months for new
reports to come out.

Does putting the info into excel seem like the best thing
to do? Any suggestions?

I would appreciate any help

I think we need more info about exactly what you want to
do with the data in question. If you have tables in word
with data in them, did you know you can do some simple
spreadsheeting on them right there in word? In the table
menu.. have a look at the formula menu item.
