    Importing addresses from a Word Chart

    Hi everyone.

    I'm looking to transfer an address book from a three-column word chart to a table in excel. In the current Word address book, each address is in cells in envelope format. So it's....

    Chief Clancy Wiggum
    443 Lane Road
    Candyland, WY
    55902

    ...in each cell in a table that is three columns accross, 40 pages long.

    I need to import each address so that it shows up in rows like this...

    Chief Clancy Wiggum 443 Lane Road Candyland, WY 55902

    ...so that I can make a table. How do I import from this format without having to re-organize every entry?

    First export the word file as a plain text file.

    Open the resultant file using excel.

    When I did this I got a continuous list of addresses:-


    Chief Clancy Wiggum
    443 Lane Road
    Candyland, WY
    55902
    Chief Clancy Wiggum
    443 Lane Road
    Candyland, WY
    55902
    Chief Clancy Wiggum
    443 Lane Road
    Candyland, WY
    55902
    Chief Clancy Wiggum
    443 Lane Road
    Candyland, WY
    55902
    Chief Clancy Wiggum
    443 Lane Road
    Candyland, WY
    55902

    Excl can easily convert this into the format that you are after.

    If you concentrate on the export.

    I will write a macro to do the conversion for you.
