Yes, open excel then click Data, import external data, find the file that you want to import and then click OK.

I would copy the table from Word, paste it into an empty Excel sheet, sort the data & copy from Excel into Word. Keep the cells highlighted in Word while you are pasting.

Answer 3

You can sort a list or table in MS Word 2003, here is how:

1 Select the list or table you want to sort
2 On the TABLE menu, click SORT
3 Select the sort options you want

To sort a single column in a table:
1 Select the column or cells you want to sort
2 On the TABLE menu, click SORT
3 Select the sort options you want
4 Click OPTIONS
5 Select the SORT COLUMN ONLY check box

Sort by more than one word or field inside a table column (ie a column contains both last and first names, you can sort by either last name or first name)
1 Select the columns you want to sort
2 On the TABLE menu, click SORT
3 Under MY LIST HAS, click an option
4 Click OPTIONS
5 Under SEPERATE FIELDS AT,click the type of character that separates the words or fields you want to sort, and then click OK
6 In the SORT BY box, enter the column containing the data you want to sort by, and then in the USING box, select which word or field you want to sort by
7 In the first THEN BY box, enter the column containing the data you want to sort by, and then in the USING box, select which words or field you want to sort by
Repeat step 7 in the second THEN BY if you want to sort by an additional column
8 Click OK

Answer 4

I can think of any reason why you would want to import word into excel. But, you can make tables within word.

Answer 5

On the "Table" menu there should be a "sort" option, which will sort the table alphabetically for you.
