Pat,
Since you raised the question, I am sending the instructions directly to you
and the the list.
Convert text to a table or a table to text
Applies To: Word 2016, Outlook 2016, Word 2013, Outlook 2013, Word 2010,
To convert text to a table or a table to text, start by clicking the
Show/Hide paragraph mark on the Home tab so you can see how text is
separated in your document.
Convert text to a table
1.
Insert separator characters-such as commas or tabs-to indicate where to
divide the text into table columns.
Note: If you have commas in your text, use tabs for your separator
characters.
2.
Use paragraph marks to indicate where you want to begin a new table row.
In this example, the tabs and paragraph marks will produce a table with 3
columns and 2 rows:
Apple Oranges Pears
Wine Beer Softdrinks
3.
Select the text that you want to convert, and then click Insert > Table >
Convert Text to Table.
4.
In the Convert Text to Table box, choose the options you want.
Under Table size, make sure the numbers match the numbers of columns and
rows you want.
Under AutoFit behaviour, choose how you want your table to look. Word
automatically chooses a width for the table columns. If you want a different
column width, choose one of these options:
To do this
Choose this option
Specify a width for all the columns
In the Fixed column width box, type or select a value.
Resize the columns to fit the width of the text in each column
AutoFit to contents
Resize the table automatically in case the width of the available space
changes (for example, web layout or landscape orientation)
AutoFit to window
Under Separate text at, choose the separator character you used in the text.
5.
Click OK.
Your text should now appear as a table which you can navigate using the
table navigation commands alt+control+arrow keys.
