Excel import to Word all gibberish
Hi, new to the group..
I should probably start off by saying I just got a new laptop and freshly installed MS Office 2013 onto the laptop. I haven't done much but up until now it's been working fine. I'm trying to make a small directory with a list of about 40 names (first, last and nick name) for a publication. The Excel list looks fine until I import it to Word. Any ideas? I Have the Kutools extension if that makes any difference. Last edited by Charles Kenyon; 12-02-2019 at 08:29 AM. Reason: Mark as solved - never mind! |

It could be a false alarm.
I imported a list I've used in the past and it seems to be working fine. The list I'm trying to use was exported from a membership software website, so the problem may lay there. |

The dialog shows you are trying to import a file called ~WRC2830. The tilda ~ normally indicates that the file is a temporary file rather than a real file.
Are you sure you selected the correct file to link to?

It appears I wasn't following the correct procedure in step two. I should have checked the top option. Once I followed the correct procedure it worked like I remember. That's the problem with only doing certain task once or twice a year. Thanks for the help.. |

I note that you have figured out what was happening and I've marked this as solved.
