seperate text to put into a table
I have a notepad file, and the text appears to be in columns, but when I put
it in word to put it into a table format each line of text gets put in one cell instead of seperating into different cells. It appears that even though the text looks like it has been tabbed apart in notepad, there are no tabs in it to seperate it into a table. Is there any way to put tabs in the text all at once rather than going line by line and tabbing the text apart. |

seperate text to put into a table
It would probably be easier to use Excel to convert the text into
a table that you can then copy and paste into Word. If you copy and paste the data into Excel 2002 or 2003, then click on Data | Text to Columns | Delimited | Next | Delimiters: choose your delimiters | check the "Treat consecutive delimiters as one" box | Next | Finish. trmoor wrote: I have a notepad file, and the text appears to be in columns, but when I put it in word to put it into a table format each line of text gets put in one cell instead of seperating into different cells.
