Word includes a function that lets you convert table into text format. Once you create a document, you may decide that text currently in a table would be better presented in a different format such as a bulleted or numbered list. If this is the case, you can tell Word to put the table into text for you.

To convert a table into text:

1. Select the rows or the table you want to convert to text.
2. Under Table Tools, on the Layout tab, within the Data group, click Convert to Text.
3. Under Separate text at, click the option for the separator character that you want to use in place of the column boundaries.

Word will automatically convert the rows or table into text.
