Default how do i remove table from text, without removing text?

I am having trouble removing the table from the text. I've tried using
converting table to text button, but this did not solve the problem. I use
windows xp professional. Please if anyone can help, i would appreciate it.
Thanks

What result do you get when you convert a table to text?

Thanks for your response. I select the table box, then I click the convert
table to text button. After clicking the button a dialogue box appears with
several choices,"tabs, commas, etc." When I choose any of the choices given,
the text is moved to the far left of the document in chosen format. Such as:
commas after every word, etc.

mom50,
That's normal behaviour I think, when you choose commas Word will convert
each cell to a comma each row to a paragraph.
The best way to retain a table like result is to choose tab as a separator.
But it may be necessary to adjust the result after conversion, tab positions
and such.
