How to Import Text and Database Files in Excel 2007

When you need to import a Word document or an Access database file in Excel, resist the temptation to simply “open” the file with Office Button (File) – Open. Rather, follow the steps to “Get External Data” from the Data Tab on the Ribbon.

You also can control – and preview – who Excel will distribute the data into individual columns before you import the file.

Watch as I demonstrate these steps – this tip will save you a lot of time and avoid frustration.
