== SYMPTOMS ==<br />
<br />
When you copy information from a Microsoft Project table (task sheet, resource sheet, and so on) and paste this information to the Clipboard, it is formatted in tab-delimited columns.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
While you can paste this information into a spreadsheet and have it appear at regular intervals of one field per cell, it may appear distorted when you paste it into Microsoft Word.<br />
<br />
</div><br />
<div class="workaround_section"><br />
<br />
== WORKAROUND ==<br />
<br />
To achieve regular columns in Microsoft Word, do one of the following:<br />
* Set tabs to accommodate the longest data item in each field.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
-or-<br />
* Use the table feature in Microsoft Word to paste the information into a table and format the table with the desired column widths.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': Linked fields in Microsoft Word cannot be separated over multiple cells in a table; they are treated as single entities. They can, however, be aligned with tab stops.<br />
=== Setting Tabs ===<br />
<br />
To set tabs in Microsoft Word, do the following:<br />
# Select the information pasted into Microsoft Word from Microsoft Project.<br />
# On the '''Format''' menu, click '''Tabs'''.<br />
# Set tab stops for each column so that the tab's size is large enough to accommodate the length of the pasted information.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Note''' These tab size values depend on the font that you are using.<br />
# Click '''OK'''.<br />
<br />
The default tab stops have been replaced and the columns are now evenly spaced.<br />
=== Inserting Data Into a Table ===<br />
<br />
# Select the information pasted into Microsoft Word from Microsoft Project.<br />
# On the '''Table''' menu, click '''Convert''', and then click '''Text to Table'''.<br />
# Under '''Separate Text At''', click '''Tabs''', and then click '''OK'''.<br />
<br />
The columns are now evenly spaced. You may need to make a few modifications to these values until the column widths are wide enough to accommodate the contents of the cells in the table.<br />
