Word list to Excel column?

[Ishkabibble]

This may sound like a totally n00b question, but I searched and didn't find anything about it, so here goes:

I have a list of 51 names in a Word (2003) document and I need to transfer them to a column in Excel (also 2003). I'd rather not have to do it one name at a time (as I have in the past with much shorter lists), so is there a relatively easy way to do it?

Thanks!

The list is in a single column on the Word page, correct? If so, simply select all 51 names, press CTRL+C to copy them, then go to Excel and select the cell you want the first name in, then press CTRL+V to paste the names onto the worksheet.

Is it really that easy? Wouldn't it paste the table that the list is in too? Or should I paste the list as "unformatted text" and then copy/past it into Excel?

Why didn't I think of this?

Amazing! Thank you!

Yes, it's that easy.

Yes, it's that easy.

And so it was. Worked perfectly.

Can't thank you enough!
