Importing campaigns... Is this possible?

    I have recently taken over our ad words account after a break of almost a year and it is in a bit of a mess and needs organising.
    Ideally I would like to start again from scratch, but I feel this would be too time consuming as we have hundreds upon hundreds of adverts.

    Is it possible to export my campaigns to an excel document, edit what I want to keep and add in all my new adverts into the spreadsheet then upload it back onto ad words?
    Or do I have to make all the adverts manually?

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Adwords Editor will allow you to export your campaigns as a CSV file which can be opened with Excel. I'm not sure about importing the campaign however.

    2. Click the Campaigns tab.
    3. Select one or more campaigns.
    4. Go to the Edit Menu > Cut to cut the campaigns.
    5. Go to the File Menu > Open Account.
    6. Select the account where you want to paste the campaigns.
