I have a notepad file, and the text appears to be in columns, but when I put
it in word to put it into a table format each line of text gets put in one
cell instead of seperating into different cells. It appears that even though
the text looks like it has been tabbed apart in notepad, there are no tabs in
it to seperate it into a table. Is there any way to put tabs in the text all
at once rather than going line by line and tabbing the text apart.

It would probably be easier to use Excel to convert the text into
a table that you can then copy and paste into Word. If you copy
and paste the data into Excel 2002 or 2003, then click on Data |
Text to Columns | Delimited | Next | Delimiters: choose your
delimiters | check the "Treat consecutive delimiters as one" box
| Next | Finish.
