How the Word to Excel conversion works
Tables in your Word document become separate sheets in an Excel workbook, and other text goes into a Text sheet, one paragraph per row.
Why convert Word to Excel?
People convert Word to Excel to work with the data in rows and columns. Word is best for letters, reports and contracts, and Excel is best for data, budgets and reports. The trade-off: Word offers easy editing and formatting but comes with a layout that can change between devices, while Excel brings tables, numbers and formulas but comes with weak support for long text and page layout.
Tips for the best Excel result
- Documents with real Word tables convert best.
- Merged cells are flattened, so check the headers in Excel.
