Importing Requirements from a table in a excel document or a table in word
![](http://jazz.net/_images/myphoto/9db16347852080cb0600cfca69f9a15d.jpg)
I tried importing requiremnts from a table in word file but it took the entire table of requiremnts as one requiremnt..then i created an excel document of that table -> saved it in a CSV file -> again tried importing the file but then it says the file could not be imported....
1) Could anyone solve the issue of extracting requiremnts from a requiremnts table?...
2) Also is there any other means of composing the requiremnts in a table format...?

I believe this is a limitation related to a combination of (1) the minimalistic CSV format and (2) the CSV importer.
You can import a table in a Word, RTF, or OpenDoc Text file and optionally parse it into individual requirements automatically at the paragraph level (and maybe sentence level -- I don't remember the details) -- but as you report, you cannot import and parse it at the table-cell level. You do this manually after doing the above import within the text editor.
