I am downloading data from a Unix box. I need to import the data into Microsoft Excel and Word. How do I complete this task?

You should be able to down load as a comma delimited text file (.csv) or as plain text (.txt). You can then import your data into Word or Excel. Be careful about file names and extensions. I would stick to DOS naming.

I have used Hyperterminal as an intermediatary between HPUX and Windows to transfer data to MS Word. From Word I run a macro and populate fields. The same or similar can be done using hyperterminal, ftp, ar any number of ways.

You need to look at how the data is organized on your unix box, transfer to a text based file on your windows box and then populate the fields.
