Default Tab characters in Word tables

You can use Find and Replace to get rid of undesired tab characters. Replace
^t with nothing.

Note, however, that no tab character is inserted when you press the Tab key
within a table. You will have to press Ctrl+Tab to create a tab character
when the insertion point is inside a table cell.

I want to copy two cells of a Word table (One containing name and
titleand other containing address) and paste onto an envelope for
mailing purposes. I still need to keep the two columns for other
purposes. At present this results in a tab being put on to the
envelope and having to reformat. Is there a way using Find and Replace
to remove the tab character which is created when moving to next cell
within a table?
