When You Don’t Want the Formatting of Your Imports To Test Your Vocabulary …
Have you ever been in a situation where a project deadline is looming and you’ve suddenly got to insert enormous Excel® spreadsheets with material information and specs into your AutoCAD® project? You import the first spreadsheet, but it looks nothing like the original Excel version. It looks weird. In fact, it’s a complete mess, and the cussing begins. (Hopefully, it’s silently, in your head!)
.
Haven’t You Got Better Things To Do?
You can either resign yourself to hours of monotonous, repetitive formatting to fix it all while the deadline clock continues to tick, tick, tick. Or you can have flawlessly formatted imports of Excel and Word™ data with literally a couple of mouse clicks. It’s a no-brainer which option is less stressful and more productive, right?
Watch This!
Can You Afford to Waste Time?
Importing Word and Excel data into AutoCAD — without the right tool — not only wastes your time but also opens the door to errors. Even with hours of painstaking manual formatting, it’s a disastrous recipe for embarrassing mistakes or late submittals.
If you’re tired of burning hours importing Excel spreadsheets and Word® docs and trying to get them to look good, you need a change.
The Microsoft Office Importer™ software saves you tons of time by automatically managing all the hundreds of little details that must be correct when bringing in Excel or Word data.
Spreadsheet imports that look as perfect as the original.

What About Header Rows in Your Excel Paste?
Did you watch the video above? Did you see how effortlessly Microsoft Office Importer can split your gigantic spreadsheets to fit perfectly inside your DWG borders? That leaves the question: What about your header rows? You need them repeated all over the place. No sweat. Microsoft Office Importer handles this for you automatically.
Cool, But What About Really Huge Excel or Word Pastes?
If you’ve ever tried to get a tall Excel or Word paste into a short space, you know the trouble it gives you. In fact, in talking with some new customers, we found that one of the tasks that users spend a lot of time on is trying to make tall pastes fit inside their DWG borders.
These AutoCAD users would manually split up tall data into multiple pastes. Trying to do this is both time-consuming and frustrating. Simply changing text size is rarely an option as the text must be readable in the plot and must almost always follow a CAD standard that dictates the text size.
Fortunately, for Microsoft Office Importer owners, this isn’t an issue.
Microsoft Office Importer has a feature called “split paste into columns.” Now, when you go to place a tall paste into your DWG file, Microsoft Office Importer automatically and intelligently splits your paste into multiple columns so that it fits nicely into the allotted space — and repeats the headers for you.
To be clear, this refers to columns in the DWG file, not Excel columns. The paste that Microsoft Office Importer splits into multiple columns can contain as many Excel columns and rows as you like.
In effect, your tall paste flows naturally from one column in your DWG file to the next column (from left to right).
The result is your paste starts where you choose and automatically creates one or more “columns” for you.
How Microsoft Office Importer Can Help You
If you want your imported Excel data in AutoCAD to look just like the original Excel spreadsheet, Microsoft Office Importer is the answer. And a Word import will look exactly like the original Word doc.
