Word includes a function that lets you convert text into table format. For example, if you have a list of words you think would be better displayed in a table format, you can tell Word to put the text into a table for you.
You need to decide how to separate the text into columns. In other words, you need to tell Word where to separate the text. This can be done using paragraphs, commas, tabs or other characters. For example, if you select commas, Word will place text in a new column or row after each comma.

To convert text into table format:

1. Select the appropriate text.
2. From the Table menu, point to Convert and click Text to Table.
3. From the dialog box that appears, select the number or rows and columns for the table.
4. Under Separate text at, select the method you want to use for separating the text.
5. Click OK.

Word will automatically put the text into table format using the criteria you specified.
