Convert Text to Tables
The Problem:
I get long membership listsdatabase dumpsthat I need to convert into Word tables. If they were separated with tabs, I could just use the Table Convert
Text to Table command, but they're separated with regular old spacesas many of them as are needed to line up the columns.
The Solution:
You can fix this easily. Choose Edit Replace and replace ^w(whitespace) with ^t(a tab). Select the list, choose Table
Convert
Text to Table, make sure the Tabs option is selected and that the "Number of columns" box shows the right number of columns, and click the OK button to perform the conversion.
