Help with getting paper phone bill to pdf and Excel (impossible?)

I have tried scanning and saving a pdf file and then copying and pasting that to Excel, but when I do all the formatting of the columns is lost, so that everything is in one vertical line. I have also tried copying and pasting individual columns. That works partly only because col. 3 copying also selects col 6, and on pasting the two become muddled up.
Am I trying to do the impossible, or is there a way for the non- technical me to do what I’m attempting?

Tat it'll work is not in doubt, but it does have its quirks, the error rate being one. I do know that the cost of progs can be high for light use, Still hoping there might be something around free or for a song, that is better.

Also if they register and go paperless they will save £1.25 per month.

Try using the Text to Columns tools in Excel (it should be on the Data tab). That offers the choice of delimiters to decide where the columns are.
