Is there a hot key to get to delimited column?See below for comments. I cannot seem to get to delimited field under auto format ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Carlson To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2009 6:17 PM Subject: Re: Delimiting columns in Notepad Ann, I use MS-Word as the intermediary. I am using MS word 2003 Paste your text to an open MS-Word document. done Make sure all the text is highlighted done. In Word 2003 Alt+A, v, x (This is tables, convert, Text-to-table). done In Word 2007 it's the same keystrokes, but you can use the ribbon if you're comfortable with it. I get tables styles in use and see no delimited field went to all table, user defined tables and did not get delimited field. There is a check box for rows and columns Select auto-format and select the space character as the column delimiter. Again no delimited field Only check boxes I am Using Windows 6.0 category states that table styles in use so went into user defined and tabbed around no luck. Make sure you tab around in the dialog and check the number of columns that Word is anticipating. Change this if it's not what you expected. I changed to15 Press OK. You'll get a table Select the entire table and copy. Paste into an open Excel sheet. The first time you do this, it's likely you'll find that things don't work as expected,so prepare to play around a lot with the original text file. It works better if the columns are delimited with a tab character, as spaces can be in the body of a cell.

This file tracks what is going on within my desktop. I would like to have each column go into a separate column in another application such as word or excel so I can sort, summarize and follow data on a specific column. This report has date, time, action, protocol, SRC-IP, SRC-Port, DST-Port. Each column is separated by a space. Does anyone know how I can use Jaws to import this text file so that each column on text report can go into a separate column in Excel? I think this term is called delimiting. Presently, when I copy the entire report to clipboard and paste into Excel all columns go into first column.
