Pasting from Excel to Word 4 columns: data is truncated

[Andersn2]

Word and Excel 2007
Windows 10 laptop with 8 GB ram.

I am trying to copy/paste text data from a single column of an Excel spreadsheet into a blank Word document which is set to have 4 columns.

The Excel column has 70,000 rows of data. The copy/paste operation takes forever to complete but it eventually does. The data goes correctly into the 4 columns of the Word document.

But, the pasted data is truncated in the Word document. By that I mean that in some cells the data would need to "wrap" in the Word cells to fit it all in, but it does not wrap. It just gets truncated into a single shortened line in those cells. I've changed the Word table properties to have wrap enabled, but that does not wrap anything and does not restore the lost data.

How can I copy data from Excel and paste it into Word without some of the text being lost? Is this a known bug? Is wrap broken in Word columns? Is there a work around?



Thank you.
