copying to multiple rows
Quite often I need to copy several rows of text to several rows of a table.
I copy the rows that I want to paste into the tables, highlight the rows I want to copy to and click 'paste' or 'paste special/unformatted text' or 'paste special/formatted text'. Only the first word of each sentence is copied. How can I get all the characters/sentences of each row copied into as many rows in a table? Thanks for reading, wiersma7 |

um...not very much. But, I'm having a problem doing it. Am I missing an

copying to multiple rows
All I can say is that if I select and copy several lines of text and then I
select a number of rows of a table, the following happens: 1. If there are no commas in the selected text, the selected text is pasted in its entirety into every cell of the selected rows. 2. If there are commas in the selected text, the text following the comma is inserted into the next cell of each row of the table. (Providing that there are more columns than commas, each of the selected rows will contain the full text, albeit spread over the cells in the row. If I select several paragraphs of text and copy them and then select a number of rows. each paragraph is pasted into a separate cell in each of the selected rows, so that I end up with each row being identical, but with the first paragraph in the cells in the first column, the second paragraph in the cells in the second column and so on. -- Hope this helps.

copying to multiple rows
I know this has been a while - hope you still receive it.
I'm pasting 4 sentences into 4 rows - no commas - I get only the first word of each sentence. What you have written (copied) below is exactly what I KNOW it SHOULD do and it used to do it that way, but NOW it will only do the first word of each sentence. I have tried dragging, pasting with/without formatting, every different way I can think of...but I get only the first word. Should I reinstall Word 2007?

Can you post the four sentences, displayed exactly as they appear in the
material you are copying? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "wiersma7" wrote in message ...

When I copy and paste into excel, the result gives me multiple lines. I want a single line, with the exact multiple text in a single cell. How can I do this?? Nobody in the world seems to know.
