Thank you for the prompt response.
Exporting or converting pdf files into excel has not been consistent. Certain pdf pages consisting of tabular data convert nicely into cells, others open in one cell.
I attempted to import a table into word, I ended up copying and pasting, and then into excel.
That attempt was unsuccessful, however, after highlighting the table again, select all, clicking select button, and from the drop down menu convert to spreadsheet, the data in the table opened in individual cells.
