Converting Tables to Text

---

What happens when you don't want a table to be a table anymore? Suppose that you've created a great table for the annual report, but now someone in marketing wants it in text form—no tables allowed. How do you preserve the data and lose the grid? You can make the change easily. Click in the table and choose Table, Convert, Table To Text. In the Convert Table To Text dialog box, select the character you want Word to use to delineate individual text entries. You might have Word separate your table entries by inserting commas, paragraph marks, or another character between them. Click OK to convert the table.
