Brutium

Hello everybody,
I have been using Office 2007 for a couple of weeks now and I still have
difficulty getting used to the new interface. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
My proble is that I am trying to convert a table into a paragraph. The Help
that comes with Office tells me that tp convert a table to text I need to:
1. Select the rows or table that you want to convert to paragraphs.
2. Under Table Tools, on the Layout tab, in the Data group, click Convert
to Text.
3. Under Separate text at, click the option for the separator character
that you want to use in place of the column boundaries.
the problem is that I cannot find point 2. Can anyone halp me?

Thanks

Hi Brutim,

When your cursor is in the table you should see at at the top of the Ribbon a 'Table Tools' choice and below it two tabs
'Design' and 'Layout'.

In the Layout tab the 'Data Group' is the last grouping on the right and the 'Convert to Text' choice is in that group. How much of
the last group on the right you see can depend on the screen resolution you see and if you have set the display of the Window the
Word document is in to be full screen or sized down.
