Placing table around text
I would like to place a table around selected text, with columns in between
spaces between words. I was able to figure out how to place a simple table around selected text, but couldn't figure out how to get columns inserted as well. See the linked photo: http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ietermswy4.jpg I would like all those words to be inside their own cell, with columns separating each word from each other. Thanks. |

Placing table around text
Select the text and use Table | Convert | Text to Table. In the dialog,
select "Other" for "Separate text at" and type a space in the box. Make sure that Word's idea of how many columns the table should have matches the number of words in each line (in this case, 7, but you'll need to put a nonbreaking space [Ctrl+Shift+Space] between "He" and "Carries," "Classical" and "Greek," "Old" and "Irish"). Then click OK. -- Suzanne S.

Placing table around text
You guys are awesome.
I explored TableInsert, but not TableConvert. Now I did have to go into the bottom of the window that popped up, and tell Word to Separate Text at "Other," and then use the spacebar. But that gave me a nice table that was easy to clean up. Thanks. |
