Can this be done? If so, how?

See "CADENCE" magazine (January, 1997 edition).

Basically, copy and paste commands will do you.

Just use window's clip board cut & paste.

Not very easily. If you save the Word Doc in ASCII (plain text), there
are a number of AutoLISP routines around that can import it with varying
degrees of facility.

There are a couple that I know.

1. saveas a text file so that you can retain fromating of original
document. Go into autocad and when using dtext or mtext you can drag the
text file across.

2. this way I have had limited success with. Let's say you want retain
your numbered bullet format from word. You need to set up a standard
printer device in windows and then print to it (setup for file) this
will then generate a file that you can drag into autocad as mentioned
above.
Alot of it has to do with the prefered paragraph format. Depending on
your work you can use ole. I hope this helps.
