Subject: RE: excel 2010 monitoring cells I haven't found a way to retain .PDF tables when converting to Word. I have tried saving, but the only option I have is save-to-text. I have tried printing to the Freedom Import Printer, and although the text is retained pretty well the formatting is lost. I have sent files to [email protected], and they come back in the right order, but without actual formatting, as .txt files. There are programs to convert .pdf's to Word, but I haven't seen table retention work. ever. when you find something, please let us all know.
