Convert Text to Table
I need to convert fixed-width text, delimited by spaces, to a table. I'll
end up with 5 columns. The layout is below, and I need the columns to be placed like this (it won't look right if you're not reading this with a fixed pitch font): | | | | v v v v 000000 CN 1 111111 AC 333333 AC 444444 CN 1 555555 CN 1 666666 CN 1 777777 AC 888888 CN 1 I've tried several times to convert this using convert text to table, but I end up with, shall we say, displeasing results. I can put it to Excel and drag column guides and it's fine, but can't word manage the same thing? Thanks, Ed |

Convert Text to Table
Easier to import it into Excel first (which has a fixed-width parser), then
copy and paste into Word (where it will end up as a table). "Ed Sheehan" wrote in message ... I need to convert fixed-width text, delimited by spaces, to a table. I'll end up with 5 columns.
