Copy and paste from Word to Excel 2

[allstarfrank]

I have several Word documents that are up to 2000 characters long and I would like to copy and paste each document into a seperate cell in Excel. When attempting this, a portion of the document ends up in another cell in Excel. How can I make it end up in just one cell? The Word data that I paste must end up as Excel data, not a linked file or imported file.

Hi,

Edit the cell and then paste -- or paste in the Formula Bar.

Skip,

I had something similar. If I pasted to a cell, it would decide that the next paragraph belongs in another cell. But if I clicked on the cell, as if Iwere about to enter data correctly, then it would put the entire paste in that cell.
