WEBSITE: http://www.teachertube.com Ever try to copy text from a PDF that is organized by columns and rows into an Excel spreadsheet? If youre like many people after pasting the data you end up with a jumbled mess of text that looks nothing like the original document. This short tutorial will teach you you to quickly format the pasted text so it appears exactly as it did in the PDF.

  • Thank you for uploading this very informative video. Saved me a lot of time. I did not know how to play with excel formulas, and hence had been using Cogniview's PDFtoXL converter which has quite an extensive list of features and is pretty easy to use. After watching this video, I shall try to do it manually. Thanks again.

  • Thank you very much, I was desperate to do it and finaly your vedio help me to do it.

    God bless you
