Hi Jan,

Put the cursor inside the table, then click Table Tools|Layout|Convert to Text.

Cheers

Hi macropod, I tried your solution without success. In Office 2007 there is
no Layout in the drop down menu for tables. Any other thoughts?

Hi Jan,

Put the cursor inside the table, then click Table Tools|Layout|Convert to Text.

Hi Jan,

Using Word 2007, I:
.. created a table, via Insert|Table
.. clicked outside the table then clicked back inside it (neither step necessary, but confirms what happens when you click on a cell
within a table)
.. clicked the "Layout" tab on the 'Table Tools" 'menu' that becomes visible once you've clicked on a table cell
.. clicked 'convert to text' then OK
Table was converted to text.

Cheers
