Well I've deleted it and re-recorded under a new name and yes it works. I had called it TabletoText, but I've called it macTabletoText now and all seems well. Thanks very much ************************************** Colin McDonald colinmac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ************************************** -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dian Chapman Sent: 14 June 2002 21:03 To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Table to text conversion Sounds like you named the macro with a default name that is overwriting a table command in Word???? Try changing the name. The best thing to do is use some type of naming convention in the prefix like macTableConvert or proTableConvert (for procedure). Then you can be SURE you don't use a reserve name.

Since then (I think) I have lost the option to chose the type of table to text conversion I want, and all such conversions (even using the menu) do not offer me the choice of conversion type. I want most to opt for using tabs rather than paragraph markers to separate entries. However it has defaulted to using para markers, and the choice no longer even appears. Have I changed a setting? There doesn't seem to be anything in the Help file. I haven't tried deleting the macro yet, but that will be the next step if no-one has any suggestions.
