Hello All,

I am trying to convert a word document to an excel spreadsheet and I am only having issues. This may be something simple but I cannot figure it out and was wondering if anyone may be able to help me. I am trying to make columns out the first lines and then list the entire document accordingly. My word document looks like this but repeated for about 270 pages:

Service Name
Service ID
License Type
Mailing Street Address
Service Type
Expiration Date
Mailing City, State, Zip Code
Ownership
Level of Care
Emergency Phone
Business Phone
Number of Ambulances

So if I was to look at the excel I would want "Service Name" in column A followed by "Service ID in column B, etc in Row 1 then continued with "Air Methods..." column A row 2, "0767" column B, etc. Is there a simple way to do this without copy and pasting thousands of entries? Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Hello, if it is true that there are always 13 column headers and 13 values, I would suggest you to copy all the data from Word to Excel, creating one long column, then delete blank rows between both parts (or any other if there are any) and then use (adjust the range based on your data):

Excel Formula:
=WRAPROWS(A1:A26,13)

If the data is structured well, you should then only delete the duplicate headers.

Thank you for the response! I am able to get it to work for the 1st entry but none others after that (with changing range based on data). The data is structured the same throughout the entire document with having 13 lines per component and no other alterations on column value.

When I copy your data to A1:A78 and use:

Excel Formula:
=WRAPROWS(A1:A78,13)

The data look like as attached...

It looks like excel got the best of me on this one. Looks like I just don't know what I was doing. As soon as I did yours, it worked! Thank you!
