text to table...I want 150 rows/6 co0lumns/row
MS Word 2003
I have about 150 groups that I would like to put into a table The data is like this: WOODSTOCK & DISTRICT BIG BROTHERS ASSOC. INC. 378 Hunter St Woodstock, ON N4S 4G2 (519) 539-7469 www.bigbrotherswoodstock.ca BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF YORK PO Box 126, 145 Main St. S Newmarket, ON L3Y 3Y9 (905) 895-0289 www.bbbsy.ca There are tabs at the end of each and every line. (or if I paste the data unformatted, there are returns at the end of each and every line.) I would like 1 row and 6 columns per group. Is there an easy way to do this? ....Lisa |

text to table...I want 150 rows/6 co0lumns/row
Yes, this can be done. If there is a paragraph break at the end of every
line, then I would guess there are probably two paragraph breaks between blocks (we'll hope so, as that makes it easier). Start by replacing the paragraph breaks with tabs (replace ^p with ^t). Then replace ^t^t (two tabs) with a paragraph break. That will give you each address block in a paragraph by itself. (Note that if you start with the version that has a tab at the end of every line, you may be able to skip this step.) Now select the text and use Table | Convert | Text to Table, separating at tabs, and you're done. -- Suzanne S.
