Excel: Copied Cells Paste into Word as Tab Delimited Text

ID: Q79489

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, versions 2.x, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0

With Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, data copied from a worksheet is normally pasted into Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 4.0 or later as a table. However, due to table width limits in Word, if the area copied from Excel is wider than 22 inches or 32 columns, the information is pasted into Word as tab delimited text and not as cells.
