There's no tool built into Word to do that, but I suppose it could be
programmed as a macro.

Exactly what do you mean by "transpose"? Is it just swapping the contents of
two adjacent cells? If so, does that mean in the same row, or in the same
column? Or do you mean the matrix operation called "transpose", like the
Excel array operator TRANSPOSE, where the rows become columns and vice
versa?

It means moving information displayed vertically to a horizontal row. Thanks
for the hint on building a macro but as the number of rows to be transposed
is never constant it will not work. Have tried to bnuild a macro nut am not
that profficient!

I copied into excel and used the transpose functuion an dthen copied back
into a word table. Although thi sworks it is a bit long winded.
