What you describe seems to be the result of the converter. We cannot say from here what it really does, but it might not even yield a real (Word) table, but lines/boxes and some text. If the tables are all _very_ uniform, one might be able to come up with a programmatic solution. Otherwise, you probably need to rebuild them manually. After all, PDF is never meant to be "consumed" by anything other than a viewer or printer application.

Once any complex document is in PDF, rebuilding is often faster than tweaking with the file there.

Nashron: In Adobe Prof you can select the text AS TABLE. Then if you c/p into Word it shd do a fairly well job. Robert M.
