Doug Robbins - Word MVP, originally posted via msnews.microsoft.com Tried that, before I posted a response to Jay's message. It did not work. Do you know how they are actually represented in MS-Word. For example, I know paragraph breaks are represented by "^p" Or, is it possible to use some VBA code to convert the line connectors into a table or atleast extract data inside them?

Before you can get this to work properly, you may have to do some cleanup to remove some of the line-drawing characters, especially those that make the corners and the horizontal lines. Instead of removing the vertical lines between the columns, use those as the "separator characters" in the conversion dialog. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP * * * *FAQ:http://word.mvps.org Thanks for the suggestion. How do I use the vertical lines between the columns as "separator characters"? In Word 2007, I choose Insert - Table - Convert Text to Table, in that at Separate Text as option, I can enter some information for Other, but what do I enter for the vertical lines which are actually line connectors? Do I enter their ASCII code value(i don't know how to find their ASCII code value) or something else? Can you please clarify? Thanks |
