Importing to Excel




Is there a way to import a text file with fixed column data into an Excel
spreadsheet and map the columns from the text file to columns in the
spreadsheet?  I know how to do it with the Text Import Wizard but each time
you do it you have to define the column mapping.  It would also be nice as
it is done to be able to add to a new tab instead of creating a new
spreadsheet.  This is something that a person in our H.R. department is
going to need to do weekly and there are enough columns that it would be
nice to get it automated.

We are (still) on Office 97.
