I'm trying to convert an excel file to word format. Any way to do this simply, preferably by only using tools within Microsoft Office? |

Can you try to open the file in Word and see if it converts it?

Thank you for the suggestion but I have tried that and also the copy/paste method. It makes the format wacky.

What version of Office are you using? I'm using 2003 and Copy/Pasted and it retained all the formatting. Admittedly it was a simple test of bolds/colors/bgcolors/borders. Nothing fancy.

You can copy the info from Excel to Notepad, then copy it from Notepad to Word.
Notepad is a nice middle-man.

I use Paste Special-Formatted Text (RTF) to maintain my Excel formatting when copying/pasting from Excel to Word

Richard, that worked wonders. Thank you. Just needed to widen/tighten some columns but that's very minor. Thanks again.
