How to convert Word document to Excel without losing formatting?

I have a word document which was created in Word.

It's a long document and I want to be able to import it into excel, but I don't want it to change its formatting. Is there a way to import the document into excel without losing formatting?
Thanks! There are several ways to go about this: Open your document in Word. Go to File > Save as. Choose "Create a new file" and select Excel 97-2003 format. Then, save your document. Next, go to File > Open and select the saved document. When prompted, select "Open".

Create an Excel template. Right click on the first sheet in Excel. Select "New" > "Workbook".

Next, choose "Microsoft OfficeExcelPowerPointVisioMS Word 97-2003" and select "OK". You can then create a new document with the new template.

Hope this helps! You can use the Office Open XML package, which can convert word files to various formats, such as pdf, html, xlsx, rtf, and txt. If you have Office installed on your system, you should be able to open the word document in Excel by simply double clicking it in Windows Explorer. If the word document is a plain text document, it should be openable in Excel with the Text only option.

How do I convert Word data to Excel table?

I am having a list of text data coming from the API and based on that I am writing a python script which will get me all the data in a new Excel file.

The process is quite clear that I can do it just copying and pasting all of them on my spreadsheet but the problem is with the text data, when it is long or wide etc it looks like a mess. So here's the question, is there any solution for this? I don't want to copy all text and paste them onto excel cell one by one.

I have tried to export the entire worksheet to a PDF format using pandoc and copy and paste the entire excel sheet content into a new Excel document which works well enough but what about copying the entire data into an excel table? Below is a small code which shows how I am getting the data to begin with. Import pandas as pd. Df = pd.readcsv("DataWordList.txt", sep=', ')

I understand I can create a Pandas dataframe and convert all that to excel (which will help me). But I would like to avoid that due to the time of creating a file. Instead I want to start directly with a new Microsoft Word Workbook which will be populated with this data once we are done working on a Python script. In some cases data might look like two or more words at once but it can even be single word. I would like to keep the formatting of that word intact. For example: CADIAKAN TONJI should be as it is, and not as it is.

We can use TextIO and Table writer for that.

How do you convert a Word document to an Excel table?

This question has been answered a million times before, but not in the context of SharePoint Server 2025 and Office Web Apps.

To do this you need to use the Microsoft.Interop.Excel COM object and create a Word document. What you get with this method is a Word document that includes a formula that will turn your data into an Excel table.

So, how do you create a Word document with a formula? Let's start from the beginning. Let's assume that you have some data. The following table contains four different datasets that represent the four seasons of the year.

Spring	Summer	Autumn	Winter
1	2	3	4
1	2	3	4

. This looks like a mess, but that's because it really isn't. You can get the same information by combining data from multiple datasets in a formula. Say you want the total for the summer months, which are represented by June, July, August, and September. You could use a formula like the one in this image:

=sum(B3:D3). Let's take this and put it into a Word document. To get started, you need to create a new blank document and name it something like test.docx. Here's what you should see:

As you can see, we haven't inserted any data yet. But let's put some in there. In the first column, I have entered 1, 2, 3, and 4.
