Most spreadsheets, Excel for sure, have a text to columns command. The problem is, you have to separate what you want in each column by some distinct character. If you were separating author, title, etc by something like commas or semicolons you could tell the text to columns dialog to separate everything for you, just cut from word processor and paste into spreadsheet, run text to columns and you've got it. Adding all those commas or semicolons would be a lot of work, though.

I realized last night that to do the list on a spread sheet I'd have to start all over. There's no way to convert or copy and paste, is there?I think I'll just continue with word and if the spacing makes it too large for Pavi to convert to htm, which it probably won't be once I delete the duplicates and only skip lines between entries and not parts of the entry,I'll send it in sections. smileCindyWish List (i.e., books wanted added to the collection) and books-being-scanned list available at sites belowWish List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Bookshare+Wish+ListBooks Being Scanned List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Books+Being+Scanned+List--- On *Sat, 8/1/09, Lynn I /<lynnskyi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>/* wrote: From: Lynn I <lynnskyi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: more recently (later at night) updated boks-being-scanned list pdated 7/30/09 To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Saturday, August 1, 2009, 1:44 AM Bob!I'm just beginning to attempt to understand HTML code. Does theactual "header" text or the "title" text go on a separate line between the beginning and the end of the "header" or "title" or immediately following the <head> designation?Hope my question makes sense.

Jamie oversimplifies a bit.Firstly, the file needs to have the extension of .html.There is also some computerese that needs to go at the top and bottom of the file.Here's how your file would look:<html> <head> </head> <body> Date <p> Books being scanned <br> Name of book 1 - author <br> Name of book 2 - author <br> </body> </html>But, it really is very simple.

I'll try in a day or two. Then I'd attach the txt file because it would really be an html file? What would that be like pasted onto the message part of my post?

It's pretty simple html. A <P> is a paragraph return (two lines) and a <br> is like a single line break (one line). You'd do it like this: Date <p> Books being scanned <br> Name of book 1 - author <br> Name of book 2 - author <br> And then you just save it as a text file. I doubt we need anything fancier than that.-- Jamie in MichiganCurrently Reading: The Curse of the Holy Pail by Sue Ann Jaffarian See everything I've read this year at: www.michrxtech.com/books.html <http://www.michrxtech.com/books.html> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
