Out
of the Table and into the Document
Have some information
in an MS Word table you need to get out of the table and into your
document, just as plain old text?
I bet you're dreading
the thought of the old copy/paste routine to get all of that information
out of the cells.
Interested in
a quick and easy way to get that information out of the table with
no copy/paste needed?
Yeah, I was too!
I'm always looking for a way to make my work go a little smoother.
So, here's the deal:
In older
versions of MS Word:
-
Highlight
the table (or the part of the table) you want to convert
to plain old text.
-
Next,
go to the Table menu, Convert
submenu, Table to text choice.
-
A
window will then open, giving you a choice as to how you want the
information from the cells to be separated when it comes out of
the table.
- Make a
choice and click OK.
Now, for those
of you with the newest version of Word:
In MS
Word 2007:
And just like
that, your information is out of the table and into your document
as text that is ready for formatting, sorting or whatever you need
to do!
