Jim Perry-Tony Woods Luftwaffe Air Combat Claims List?

[Luc Vervoort]

Hi !

A possible way to convert an excel into a word file :
Save the excel file in hmtl format. This format can also be opened by word.

If you don't have excel the applications Open Office can be a solution. They can be downloaded (free of charge ) via http://www.openoffice.org/

Looking forward to receive your feedback !

Best regards from rainy Belgium

I'm not a Microsoft user but is there a "save as" option for tab-delimited text?

That is sometimes offered in spreadsheets - you wind up with all the data in the right rows/columns but no longer in actual cells.

Excellent, look forward to the latest update.

I have to say I'm rather amused - after converting Tony's original Word docs to Access to make the data easier to work with, someone is now asking how to convert back to Word!!! There were a couple of workable suggestions from Nick and Luc. Another possible idea - Word Mail Merge. I have used this to take data and print out as loss lists that look more like something you might see in a published source. Mail Merge can take data from different sources such as Excel or a delimited text file. If you can save the output to a doc file versus printing it - and I haven't looked to see if it can actually be done that way. You also can copy and paste Excel data into a Word doc. Looks like a table - but 72+ K records might be a daunting task....

Jim, I saw that some new files in Tony's site that I haven't seen before are there listed as from film. Has the updates been added? Also will the info from Dr. Prien's "jagdfliegereverbande" be added?

Best Regards,
Nokose

New file has been sent to Mr. Butler.

Rob,

I think I can help you with your projects as I am listing all of the Luftwaffe's aerial victories that I can find on an excel spreadsheet and have over 61,000 listed so far.
