Transfering Excel column to Word outline

[mcurphy]

I am trying to copy a column of data from excel, and paste it into a word document that is set up as an outline. When I go to paste the data, the entire column is keeping it's source formatting and I am getting a table of data in my outline.

How can I copy a column of data from excel and paste it into w word outline so that each cell in the column is shown as a "level" of the outline.

Here's an example of what I am trying to do:

Level One Text
-----Level Two Text
------Level Three First Cell From Excel column
------Level Three Second Cell From Excel column
------Level Three Third Cell from Excel column
-----Level Two Text
etc

I have at least 100 entries in excel I would like to have entered as seperate items on this third level, but instead I am getting a table of data that doesn't follow the outline format.

Edit: Ahh nevermind, I figured it out. I needed to transfer the data to text (erase the table), and then I was able to convert it to the outline format.

Yep, you can use the paste special function and tell word it's unformatted text. It will do the same thing.
