The first task involved looking through a list of names, and matching them to entries in a table. But the PDF isn't editable (well, it's a textbook, it wouldn't be!) So I need to copy things across to a Word document to do the notes, insertion of names into slots, reflection, and so on.
Copying that table into Word in a table format was awkward, and took forever! I tried using "SensusAccess" to convert the PDF to DOCX, but it still messed up the table formatting. I ended up copying each cell, bit by bit. Aargh!
