Problem

Symptoms: Can you export a table from WP and take it into Microsoft Excel? Solutions: Yes, this can be accomplished by performing these steps: 1. Delete the table definition code in the WordPerfect document. This creates tabular columns instead of the table. 2. Export the file in Generic Word Processing format. This keeps the data in true tabular columns. 3. Retrieve the file into MS Excel. This method can also be used to import WP tables into Lotus 1-2-3. Users should consult their spreadsheet reference manual for specific details. Note: When exporting a WPWin table, the Save As ASCII Generic Word Processor (DOS) should be used.
