Default Converting ASCII tables to Word tables

Is there an easy way to convert an ASCII table to a Word table in Word XP?
I've found that interestingly enough, if I hit Enter at the end of an ASCII
table line, Word will insert a Word table with all the same column
divisions, properly aligned with the previous ASCII text row, but despite
that capability, it appears to be unable to actually convert from an ASCII
table to a Word table directly.

If it makes a difference, in this case, the ASCII table format is:

+-------+-------+
| Col 1 | Col 2 |
+-------+-------+
| Text | Text |
+-------+-------+

Doing a Convert Table to Text with | as the delimiter does a partial job,
but I'm hoping there's some better way of doing it than that.


Thanks,
Rob
