Convert text to a table or vice versa

When you convert text to a table, you separate text with a comma, tab, or other separator character to indicate where a new column should begin. Use a paragraph mark to begin a new row.

1. Indicate where you want to divide text into columns by inserting the separator characters you want.

   For example, in a list with two words on a line, insert a comma or a tab after the first word to create a two-column table.

2. Select the text you want to convert.
3. On the Table menu, point to Convert, and then click Text to Table.
4. Under Separate text at, click the option for the separator character you want.

   Select any other options you want.

1. Select the rows or table that you want to convert to paragraphs.
2. On the Table menu, point to Convert, and then click Table to Text.
3. Under Separate text with, click the option for the separator character you want to use in place of the column boundaries.

   Rows are separated with paragraph marks.
