- save as plain text file

- inspect with a good text editor

- determine how to identify the lines that contain data

- write a data step that reads the text file, discards unwanted lines, and converts the input either with a proper input statement or by manually splitting the _infile_ variable.

If this is one time job: copy/paste to flat file format. Edit so it will be in strict columnar format. Going via Excel might help doing the formatting.

If this is a repetitive task: contact the creator of the document and require a different file format.
