We just finished the Florida QSO Party where we were mobile and had 41 
independent WL files, one for each County in which we operated.  We needed a 
consolidated log showing the entire population of QSOs.  My cohort, VE7ZO, 
undertook the job of doing log consolidation and in doing so, discovered a 
cleaver and simple way of moving WL logs into Excel that DOES NOT require 
Exporting the file.  Here is what he did:

1. In WL, click on VIEW I ONLY THE LOG
2. Using the mouse, highlight any or all QSOs you wish to move into Excel.
3. Hit Ctrl-C to do a clipboard Copy
4. Open Excel and Paste the image into a cell.  The entire highlighted file 
will be replicated perfectly into Excel.  Walla...cleaver and simple is good 
!!!

Note:  I tried this with MS Word and Notepad.  It does not work with Word; 
the Callsign field gets overlaid with garbage. In Notepad, it works like a 
charm.

Just thought you'd like to know.
