For years, users wanting to import a Microsoft excel spreadsheet into a Microsoft word document had to do it by hand. This is somewhat frustrating since it could take several days to recreate some spreadsheets. These unfortunate users are in luck because of the latest Office Updates available on Microsoft's site. The fine software engineers at Microsoft have developed an interesting new way to import called the Smart Import XP. This will allow you to import a spreadsheet into anything including word documents, ms paint pics, internets etc.

First, you open up the Excel Spreadsheet and print it out. Make sure you print it out on one page, because, it won't work otherwise. This is very important. Then fax the printed spreadsheet to your computer. Make sure your computer has fax enabled. You can do this by clicking on the Start Menu -> Fax -> Enable Fax -> Now. You can also enable fax using command prompt by typing the following command.

enable.exe /fax -internets -activate!

If you are having problem faxing the spreadsheet, try using Astroglide.

When you fax your paper, as soon as the computer starts to receive it, open Word immediately. This is the tricky part: you have to open Word at exactly the same time as the computer begins to receive the fax, otherwise, this Smart Import won't work. Now, try this with other programs, you'll find yourself well on the way of becoming an expert with Smart Import XP! Thanks Microsoft!
