Suppose you have some text which you want to convert to a table.

1. Indicate where you want to divide the text into columns by inserting separator characters (such as commas or tabs or choose your own). To indicate where you want to begin a new row use paragraph marks.
2. Select the text that you want to convert.
3. On the Insert tab, click Table, and then choose Convert Text to Table.
4. Under Separate text at, choose the option for the separator character that you used to separate your text.
5. Make sure in the Number of columns box, the correct number of columns is displayed. If not, you may be missing a separator character in the text.
6. Click OK.
