Pasting the concordance lines to WORD

Dear all,
here is a problem that when the concordance lines are copied and
pasted into a WORD.doc file, the lines cannot remain the central
alignment and each example sentence occupies one line in the WORD
file. The result is one A4 page can only have a few citations which
fill up the whole page.
It is ok if the concordance lines are saved as a plain text file, but
when the text is copied to a rich format document such as WORD,
things start to go wrong....
How can we do to have the intact concordance remain neatly when we
need to insert it into our research paper written in a WORD or
OpenOffice Writer format?
Furthermore, how can we select random data from the concordance and
have numbering automatically starts from 1 to the last number? This is
important because not all the retrieval citations are necessarily to
present in our paper.
No dirty work, what is the best way to do it?

Print a screenshot and insert the image into the Word document.

But by doing so, it would be impossible to modify the concordance lines, for example adjusting the fonts or styles to add emphasis. Also, you cannot select certain data (Ex: you just need No.1-5, No.9-20...etc., but excluding No.6-8).
Apart from saving the concordance in any graphic format, what else can we do to make them like the text body which is edible like all the other parts of a Word file?

Step 1 when you save the concordance lines to Word, replace the search node word(s) with "tab character node word(s) tab character".
Step 2 Under Table menu, find convert, you convert text to table using tab character as separator.

Step 3 Delete undesirable instances as you do with table editing, and make necessary formatting as you wish.

Give it a try.

Instead of doing a random sampling, try every nth selection. Such a stratified sampling also makes good sense statistically.
