Mac Forum / Applications / Excel / May 2008Importing to Office 2008 Excel
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Processor: intel I've been creating finance worksheets in a free program called Open Office from OpenOffice.org. I want to import the sheets into my new Office for Mac 2008. Is this possible?

Just open them. If that does not work post back here with a description of what is happening.

I want to import the sheets into my new Office for Mac > 2008. Is this possible? The native .ods OpenOffice format can't be read by Excel, but OO can save in Excel format (.xls). I'd like to import data from Mac's Address Book into Excel in discrete contact information and be able to import only the specific fields of interest. Then I'd like to export it to Word doing a mail merge in order to print out a booklet and then print out mailing labels for another project. I can't seem to find an export format in the Address Book that will allow this. vcards seem so restrictive and text probably won't contain enough formatting information. I don't want to use Entourage or other contact database as I've spent too much time tweaking this one and using .Mac to synchronize the data.

Well, I do not use Apple's address book, but... You should be able to export the data as a tab delimited text file. This usually will be all the data. When read by Excel, you can simply delete the columns you do not want or need, save it and use the result as input for your merge. SignatureBob Greenblatt [MVP], Macintosh bobgreenblattATmsnDOTcom |
