A Table-To-Text Word Macro

Solution:

Since we often encounter tables in Word documents that we usually have to convert to text, you can write a macro to speed up the job. This is a very short macro, so even if you don't use it often, it may prove worthwhile to you.
To create the macro, run Word and press Alt + F11. When the VBS Editor opens, click the 'Modules' folder by choosing Insert|Module. Now add the following to your new module.

Sub Table()
Selection.Tables(1).Select
Selection.Rows.ConvertToText Separator:=wdSeparateByTabs, NestedTables:= True
Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Normal")
Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
End Sub

Press Alt + Q to return to the Word document. To use the macro, click in the table you want to convert. Next, press Alt + F8 and double-click the macro name.
