Remove a table but not contents throughout a document
I need help. I am not very talented in Word. I have a very large document
that I am working on that has 1 column 2 rows in it. They are meant as statements, for instance; one table is labeled "Caution" and the 2nd row has the cautionary information in it. There are three saftey words for the tables, "Warning", "Caution" and "Note" and there are hundreds of each of them. There is a request to have the statements not in tables. I can't find anything in help about how to "remove" a table while keeping the context. So I started cutting and pasting, there must be a better way! Perhaps a macro could help? Anyone? Thanks in Advance Carrie -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...ables/200808/1 |

Thanks in Advance Carrie For one table, you can select the table and click Table Convert Table To Text. (In Word 2007, click Table Tools Layout Convert To Text.) Since there are so many of them, you need a macro that does the same thing for each of them automatically. See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm for instructions on how to use this: Sub AllTablesToText() Dim myTbl As Table For Each myTbl In ActiveDocument.Tables myTbl.ConvertToText Next End Sub -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
