As requested by JoAnn, much more detail is needed in order to offer any
responsible reply, and "screwed up" tells us nothing.

From what you describe, however, it sounds perfectly normal. Word is *not* a
database program nor is it a part of an 'integrated' package (as is Works).
If you import data into a word doc it hasn't much choice but to display the
data as a series of columns (fields) & rows (records), i.e. a table.

It is also impossible to give you "step-by-step" instruction on how to do
something when you give no indication of what it is you are attempting to
do.
