Using paste special I am only getting the first column. I am unfamiliar 
with a text editor. I only use libreoffice for all my text writing and 
editing. The basic problem is I do not know how to copy the column 
format into text. I have never tried this before. I have no trouble with 
the paragraphs or photo.

Thanks, Gary
