Customer Praise

“Fantastic Add-In. I'm having a great experience with it, I did some research and it's by far the easiest method for transferring data from Excel to Word. My company has some quite complicated Excel documents and I was able to name 141 cells of varying content and have them transfer over into a word template report.”

Brian O.
