Mary Lee,
Have you tried Alt+dragging which allows you to select text vertically?

I just remembered that it was not converting text to tables that these
forgotten keystrokes could do - it was a key combination so that when you
select a portion of text on a line and then drag down, only that which is
directly below the selected text continues to be selected, rather than the
margin-to-margin selection that would normally happen. That would make the
task of eliminating all those unwanted spaces relatively simple.

Thanks!

I am working in Word 2002. I have a many-page list that goes into a
manual.
The columns of the list have been set up by using spaces. I once ran
across a
surprisingly simple key set for turning text into tables in Word - not
the
usual Convert Text to Tables function - but I can't remember what it is,
or
if it only works when tabs are in place.
Does anyone know of a more efficient way to get this into a table than a
row-by-row deleting of the extra spaces and putting tabs where I need
them so
that I can convert this thing the usual way?
Thanks
