    Having issues converting word documents to Excel

    HI- I have been using excel for creating final reports and when I export text from my software program I have to manually manipulate this to import into my report template in excel.

    The first photo is how I want my text to be formatted into excel, two columns. Column 1- Depth and Column 2- Descriptions
    The Second photo shows how the text is exported from my software program into word.
    The Third photo shows how I copy and paste the word text into notepad, then manually delete rows and insert a tab to make it export correctly.
    The Fourth photo shows the next step where I now have to delete empty rows in the excel.

    The process of copying the text over to notepad then going through every line and deleting a row, deleting the text back, then inserting a tab and repeating about 400 times is a bit draining on the fingers.

    Any suggestions on how to do this faster?

    Thank you
