Before giving up on exporting it, cast about for text-based methods of 
exporting it to various spreadsheet programs. You may spend a week 
figuring out how to do it, but that's a LOT less than retyping it. :)

Several years ago, I dug out old logs from the '50s when I was W8FNI, 
then the 60s and 70s when I was W9NEC. All paper. My first challenge was 
to try to figure out what time zone I was using, and in most, I still 
don't know. Other tasks have percolated to the top, and I've never taken 
the time to type most of them (although I did start).
