If the text document is consistently formatted I've had good luck with (a) a series of search/replace operations in Word or (b) using Word s/r to insert tabs and then bringing it into Excel where I finish adding the tags column by column. Or (c) a combination thereof.

We're all reasonably EAD-literate, and marking up the frontmatter should not (I say now...) be a problem. I was wondering, however, how other institutions handle the mark-up of their box and folder lists. Cutting and pasting text from our finding aids into Oxygen, which is what we are using for mark-up, just isn't going to cut it when we have collections with thousands of folder-level entries. Has anyone had any luck with using macros, or any other system, to avoid having to mark up a box list "by hand"? We can't all be spending hours cut-and-pasting, can we?
