- Try doing "Save As..." and setting the file type to text (use the options

-
- "Clear..." is used for just that, clearing fields. "Paste Special..." can
- be used to paste the values only (i.e. no formulas) into another worksheet.
- This won't help you get into Word, unless you want to:
- 1) select range of interest
- 2) copy
- 3) go to a blank space or new worksheet
- 4) select "Paste Special..." values
- 5) copy
- 6) go to Word and paste
- Depending on what you're doing either this approach or the save as
- approach will do the job.
