Hello -

I know we can export to excel by publisher, then sort from there.

But is it possible to export boxes to excel?

Because of the way I grouped the books together in the boxes.

Thank you Ron.


Here is the work around.

1) save the box or collection as a PDF file.

OPTION 1

2) If you have the latest version of Microsoft word - Start the MS Word Program. Open the PDF as a file in MS Word. Word will convert the PDF to an MS word file.


OPTION 2
2) Copy the text from from the PDF to a MS Word file. Put placeholder text for the Notes column if it is blank.


3) Convert the text to a Table. This takes some work an is not perfect. (May be easier in latest version).

4) Copy the MS Word table in MS excel.


Easy? - no - Can be done? yes.

wd be great if we cd easily transfer a box to an excel file
I do my analysis thru boxes-and wd love to manipulate the data in a box-but need excel for that
I can do it by Publisher but it is a much longer process------------
I am too old to figure the work around you guys suggest but I appreciate your effort.
