INTRODUCTION
Suppose you decide not to use a table in your document after all. In that case, you can delete the entire table from your document.
TIP
Deleting with Cut
Another way to delete the entire table is to select all the rows in the table and click the Cut button on the Standard toolbar.
TIP
Table to Text
You can convert a table to text instead of deleting it. Select the table; open the Table menu; and select Convert, Table to Text. Click OK on the Convert Table to Text dialog box, and Word converts the selected table into tabbed columns.
