Hi Maureen, If you delete the tabs will this not throw the entire document out of readable organized data. Considering that excel is a spread sheet product and all. Also is it tabs or tables that excel has converted too within the word document?. Paul. -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of maureen newell Sent: 11 November 2006 10:25 To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] Formatting query An excel document saved to "word" how do I delete the tabs therein, or can I? Do I have to go through the whole document line by line and delete each tab? Help greatly appreciated. Maureen.
