Import Excel data into word as text

[Thomas1024]

I am trying to make form sentences in Word using words from an Excel
spreadsheet. How do I do this, since all the help I see involves putting a
table into the file...I am new at this, so please be thorough. I can also see
tutorials, if you know of any that willwalk me through tis step-by-step.

Select and copy the Excel data you want. Switch to Word. Go to Edit > Paste
Special and select one of the text options.

Is there anyway to then have this repeat the form in word, but reference a
new cell in the next "form sentence"

Thanks btw

You should be able to set up a mail merge maybe.

E.g.,
Her name is <<name>>
Her name is <<name>>
Her name is <<name>>

Where you have a list of names in Excel and it puts a different one in each
sentence. If it is something like that, mail merge will work. See here:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/CreateAMailMerge.htm

If that doesn't help, you might want to explain what you need by form
sentences.

On reflection, it does sound as if this is what Thomas is trying to do. Most
likely a "catalog" or "directory" merge is required. The article at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/CreateAMailMerge.htm is very helpful for
Word versions up to Word 2000; the Mail Merge Wizard in Word 2002 and 2003
is a very different interface (sometimes confusing) but accomplishes the
same thing.
