Convert text to a table

You can convert text into a table using the Command menu or the Toolbar.

When placing text in a table, each paragraph is placed in a separate cell. The table is filled with paragraphs from left to right, from top to bottom.

If the conversion is done using the Command menu, a newly created table contains three columns by default. The number of table rows is determined automatically depending on the number of paragraphs in the text.

To convert text into a table using the Command menu, proceed with the following:

1.Use the paragraph sign to separate each text fragment that you want to insert into a separate cell.

2.Select the entire text that you want to insert into a table.

3.In the Command menu, select Insert > Table.

If you convert text to a table using the Toolbar, you can specify the number of table columns manually. The number of table rows is determined automatically depending on the number of paragraphs in the text, regardless of the number of rows the user selected.
