I am tring to covert text to table while the text is sparated by mutiple
spaces, like following:

1 a c d
2 c b c

Obvious, the nuber of spaces between different columns varies. I can covert
the above text to table easily in my office, using the table-convert text to
table in Word 2003. In that version, I can see the "Separate text at"
"Spaces". And the WORD will recognize multiple spaces as only one, and
separate the text correctly. However, in my laptop, which uses Word 2007,
there is no obvious "Spaces" as an option under "Separate text at", so I have
to input the space in the "Option" area. Unfortunately, after doing that, the
multiple spaces in the text will also create several columns, which I don't
want to see.

Any solutions?

Thanks
