Then you should be seeing that check box in the Convert Table to Text
dialog.

What version of Word do you have? Nested tables were introduced in Word
2000. If Word doesn't create nested tables, then you don't need to worry
about unnesting them.

Thanks for your suggestion. I am unable to find the "convert nested
tables"
box. Where is it located?

Alternatively, you might try using Convert Text to Table on the whole
document. You'll probably end up with a lot of nested tables, but
when
you
then use Convert Table to Text, make sure the box for "Convert nested
tables" is checked.

You can set the browse object to 'table' so it will take you
automatically
to the next. Having converted the first using Convert Table to Text,
you
need only press F4 to repeat the instruction for each subsequent
one.
99
mouse clicks with right hand, 99 F4s with the left. Tedious but
should
take
only a couple of minutes.

I exported a test from a testing program in .rtf format. The
question
stem
is not in a table but the four multiple-choice answers beneath the
question
are in a table. I need to remove all the tables from the document.
The
only
method I have found is to select the four answers and choose
"convert
table
to text." I have to do this for all 100 questions separately. If I
choose
the whole document it does not allow me to select "covert table to
text."
Any suggestions for an easier way to remove all the tables than
selecting
each question separately? Thanks
