To import data from a text file into Microsoft Excel, follow this step-by-step guide: First, create a blank spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel and ensure you have the .txt file on your PC.

Locate and select the PDF file you wish to import. Excel will analyze the PDF and present a list of tables to import. Select specific or multiple tables and click ‘Load’ to import them into Excel.

Unfortunately, Microsoft Excel doesn't include a one-step method for importing a file list from Windows Explorer, but Windows 7 offers an easy workaround.

However, using workbooks in Excel, one would need to save each page of the workbook as a .csv file, then import it, which could get rather cumbersome when dealing with many large workbooks, as I am.
