How to Import Text From Microsoft Word Into Autocad 2000

Import text from one program to another.

Microsoft Word and Autocad 2000 are two completely different programs. While Word allows a user to create and customize his own written documents, Autocad 2000 gives designers the ability to customize and create 3-D designs of just about anything, from a power tool to a new vehicle. However, it is possible to import text from Microsoft Word to Autocad 2000 with just a few clicks of a mouse.

Things You'll Need

• Microsoft Word
• Autocad 2000

Instructions

1. Open Microsoft Word. Once the program has launched bring up the text you want to copy from Word to Autocad 2000.

2. Click-and-drag over the text you want to import into Autocad 2000. This highlights all of the given text.

3. Right-click somewhere in the selected text and choose "Copy" from the pull-down menu.

4. Open Autocad 2000. Click "File," "Open" and choose the Autocad project you wish to import the text into.
