Hi,

I am trying to convert text to table in Microsoft Word 2007. I'll
explain my
problem with a small example.

Take the following list

Item1
Item2
Item3
Item4
------
------

If we choose the above text and select "Convert Text to Table", and
select 2
columns, the table will be like this -

Item1 Item2
Item3 Item4
------ ------

In other words, the cells are populated in the first row, and then
the second row starts being populated.

But I want the table to be populated row-first. I want to be able to
choose
3 rows and the table should appear like

Item1 Item3
Item2 Item4
------ ------

How can I do it? I've played around withthe dialog but couldn't
find a way.

Thanks.
