Jean,
Maybe. Access likes things a certain way. It helps if the first row is the
name of the column. It helps further if the character marking the beginning
and end of each column is something Access can recognize like a tab
character. Third, it's less confusing for Access if big text columns begin
and end with double-quotes. All of this is stuff that can be done quite
quickly in Word to get things ready. Once the information is tab delimmited
in nice columns Access should have no problem importing it.

Hello--
I'm new here, and with using MS Access. I have a list of addresses that's
now in MS Word, and it would be easier for me and the person I'm going to
give this address list to, to be able to have the address list in MS
Access.
Is there a way to import these addresses into MS Access--and thereby not
have to type them into the program--being able to do this would save a lot
of time and work!
Thanks in advance,
Jean in VA
