An alternative way to do this is to replace ^p with ^t^p (adding a tab
character at the end of each paragraph), then convert the text to a table,
separating at tabs and selecting 2 as the number of columns (if Word doesn't
do it automatically).

This worked on my machine, but test it on a COPY.

Select All and use Table | Convert Text to Table. Tell it to break the
table at paragraphs, and to create 1 column.

Now you've got your word document in a single-column table, one paragraph
per cell/row.

Put the cursor in the table. Use Table | Insert | Column to the Left. Is
that what you wanted?

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to take a word document and somehow feed
it into another blank word document so it ends up in a table with two
columns. Each paragraph would be broken out into a separate row. One of
the two columns would remain blank (preferrably the first one).

The reason I need to do this is because I do data analysis on voice
automated outreach via phone. I currently have to read each of the
scripts we use for the phone calls and figure out where in the script
each field is that's capturing the responses.

The need for two columns is so that I can type in the field name next to
the paragraph and not mess up the indentation order.

If this is not clear let me know and I will clarify.
