Converting a Table into Text

Posted on Tuesday, October 7th, 2014

There may be times when you want to convert an existing table into text. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Select the entire table you want to convert to text.
  2. If you are using Word 97, choose the Convert Table to Text option from the Table menu. If you are using a later version of Word, choose Convert from the Table menu, then chose Table to Text from the resulting submenu. Either way Word displays the Convert Table to Text dialog box.

 

The Convert Table to Text dialog box.

  1. Select the appropriate character that Word should use to separate the columns of text.
  2. Click on OK.

Remember, for information to be placed into a table format, two things must exist

  1. Header cells
  2. Data cells that link to the Header cells
