Best way to import a Word table into Flare?

Post by kevinmcl »

I have a source document in MS Word 2010... ish.

It includes a table - 3 columns by 100 rows.

What is the most efficient way to get this into Flare 8 without doing about 300 individual copy-paste operations?

You should be able to select the table in Word, copy it to the clipboard, then paste it in Flare. Once you've pasted it, scroll down to the bottom right corner of the content and you should see a little colored block -- if you click on that, it gives you paste options, so if it didn't paste as a table, you can select at this point to set it as a table.

Alternatively, make a copy of the Word doc, delete all content but the table, then import that single Word doc into Flare.

It wasn't working for me, until I split some merged cells in the Word table. Then it came over to Flare just fine.

I just needed the nudge to keep trying. :-)

Thanks.
