Mac Forum / Applications / Excel / September 2007Can one convert Excel Document to Word?
Hi, I need to convert my Excel Spreadsheet to a Word document. Is there a safer way to do this, such that I could keep as much of the table formatting as possible? I'm hoping there is a way to do it that would diminish the need to reset all the alignments and columns etc. Many Thanks, Frank B. No you can't "convert" an Excel workbook to a Word document [or any other type of file format for that matter]. You can use Save As to output a copy in a variety of file types, but that isn't going to give you what you want - at least not without additional work:) Open the Excel file, select the range of cells & copy. Then go into a Word doc & paste. If that doesn't give you the result you prefer, Undo, then go to Edit> Paste Special & try one of the other options.

Ok, Yes, I figured that was my best option. The irony is that - if memory serves - this copy and paste worked much better this time on a Mac than past times using a PC. Go figure, but then my memory may be off. Many Thanks for your response....Frank > No you can't "convert" an Excel workbook to a Word document [or any other > type of file format for that matter].

Hi Frank - Why does it surprise you that *anything* works better on a Mac?:-) Seriously, there could be any number of reasons why copy/paste may have provided less than desirable results on any given occasion - PC or Mac. The important point is the availability of the Paste Special feature which many users have a tendency to overlook. Perhaps that would have helped in your past experiences. Glad I could help!
