The technique of converting text to table in Word

Convert text into a table

1. Insert Separator (separator: When you convert a table to text, use the separator to identify where the text is separated, or when you convert the text to a table, use it to identify the starting position of the new row or column.) (for example, commas or tabs) to indicate where the text is divided into columns. Use paragraph marks to indicate where you want to start a new line.

For example, in a list of two words on a line, insert a comma or tab after the first word to create a two-column table.

2, select the text you want to convert.

3, on the Insert tab, in the Table group, click Table, and then click Text to table.

4, in the Convert Text to Table dialog box, under Text separated location, click the option for the separator you want to use in the text.

5, in the Number of columns box, select the number of columns.

If you do not see the expected number of columns, it is possible that one or more lines in the text are missing delimiters.

6. Choose any other options that you want.
