[BLDG-SIM] Importing eQUEST Simulation File Reports into Excel/Word etc.

[Michael Rosenberg]

Andrew,

If you are using MS Word, try this. Open the *.sim file in Word, Select
the entire document, change the font to "Courier New", set font size to
7, and set left and right page margins to 0.25". That should do the
trick. Try creating a macro to automate this task.

I was wondering if anyone had any hints or suggestions for an easier
way
to import the simulation file reports from eQUEST into modern word
processing or spreadsheet software.  Right now when I try to copy and
paste a report from a standard text editor the spacing gets really
screwed up.   I know that the type set or format for the reports is
antiquated (dot matrix?) and is the reason for some of the problems,
but
I don't know how to fix it.  Is there a more advanced text editor or
software that can help with this problem or is it a computer code
issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
