PAF to Excel
I would like to export a Sorted Individual List from PAF to Excel. I have
tried printing it out and scanning to OCR but the OCR does not seem to want
to recognise columns with gaps in them.
Any help wpild be appreciated.

You could try COPY and PASTE. That works for almost anything you can
display on your screen, ie, if you can generate a report with the data
you want showing on the screen, then COPY (control-C) from PAF and
PASTE (Control-V) into Excel.

Print it out to file as .rtf (there is a Print to file checkbox on the
Print dialog)
You can then manipulate that in Word to make a table. Stick the table
into Excel.

Hi Trefor,
It can be done. I just did it.
If you save it as a .rft document then Select All, Copy, click on the first
cell in Excel and click on Past Special then select Unicode Text, it will
paste it into an Excel spreadsheet for you.
Good luck.
