text: need help importing data from word to excel? say you wanted to create an excel spreadsheet that would import only very specific data from microsoft word.  for example, i have a list of over 50,000 names, addresses, phone numbers, and some other various information.  i only want the names, addresses, and phone numbers to be exported from the word document to and excel spreadsheet.  is that even possible to set up an excel sheet to perform a command like that? you can simply copy and paste depending on how your data in ms word is organized... if it is in a table, then the task would be very easy... even otherwise this could be done, but you need to give an example of how your word looks. .
