    Moving data from single excel column to word table with several columns

    So I have a little bit of a problem getting something to work for me. I have data from a single excel column that I am trying to display in a word document table. I have attached the 2 pictures for reference. While I have been able to get it done manually with cut and paste, I was trying to get it to automate a little more. The new number of item numbers should hopefully update, but I cannot get the formula in word to work correctly. Nor am I able to get the auto formatting to go through. Does anyone have any thoughts?

    Simply use a single-column table and format the portion of the document containing it as a 3-column Section.

    How could I get it to ignore blanks though, and the number if items changes regularly as well. it gets slow when there are 700 items to list.

    Your first post said nothing about blanks. Even with 700 rows, though, it's a simple copy/paste. You could then use a Word macro to delete the empty rows. See, for example: http://www.msofficeforums.com/word-v...tml#post118466
