Dear Tony,

Ans1 In word you can use the
Table>Convert>Table to Text to get rid of the cells. This can be used
only if you are pasting only one single column. If you r pasting more
columns & then try this you will loose the formatting regarding the
space between columns.

Ans2 Fliping the information in column.
It seems that you want to transpose & not Flip the contents.
For this you have to copy the cells & then paste special the cells
using right click>paste special. Check the box with "Transpose Lable".
<note: Please note Excel have only 256 columns>

Hope this helps

Regards
NC
