I do recall, a year or two ago, recycling sheets of statistics from Acrobat,
saving them as Excel spreadsheets, sorting them, and then pasting the
required sections into a Word document. Some reformatting was required.
Unfortunately I dont have that system anymore and I dont recall what
versions they were. It's a bit of trial and error with saving and with
cutting and pasting. There is usually a way.
