How can i import data sets that are not in csv or tab-delimited ones, i worked in a microsoft word document with a table containing rows and columns, and data in cells contains tabs, commas, line breaks.

i’m actually working for the yearbook, and it’s a big task to put more than a hundred names w/ their description in the template…

tried converting that document to csv and tab-delimited by copying and pasting it to an excel file, but it fails, becuase excel seems to create a separate row for each line of text

is there a solution for this? plugins?

You aren’t going to get any help importing data sets that are not in the proper format. You need to go to Microsoft help fora to find out how to get the data in the proper format. However, formatting even a hundred lines of data manually should not be very time consuming or challenging.

If you can get the data into Excel you can save it as .CSV text file. You can import a .CSV (either comma or tab separated) as a data set.

hm…i had tried it…
data in ms word includes carriage returns, when paste to an excel, it creates confusing rows, i exported the excel to csv, but it can’t be imported, i tried opening the csv file, and it’s truly in a wrong format!
