Fantastic tutorial has helped in converting a document.
I have a slight hiccup with it, its word document that is scanned as a PDF and then I do the conversion - it comes to us a paper version and sender for security will not send excel document.
The problem is when saving as web page, it puts the 1st column as one merged field at the bottom, anyway of fixing this? If I unmerge it, it doesn't fix the issue.
