convert text to table
I have a list of documents as shown below. The number and the title of the
document are separated by a tab and there is a paragraph mark at the end of each line. When I try and convert this to a table, I choose Table| Convert | Text to Table | Choose 2 columns | Separate at text: tab, but it only creates a table with one column. What am I doing wrong? 01(tab) Application Claims.pdf(paragraph mark) 02(tab) Application (First and Second Pages).pdf(paragraph mark) 02a(tab) Application (complete).pdf(paragraph mark) 03(tab) Submission of Formal Drawings and Formal Drawings.pdf(paragraph mark) 04(tab) Sequence Statement, Sequence Listing, and copy of Diskette.pdf(paragraph mark) 05 Transmittal Letter and Postcard.pdf(paragraph mark) -- S |

convert text to table
It is certainly working for me, if I first copy the text of your message
