Syntax
TextToTable [.ConvertFrom = number] [, .NumColumns = number] [, .NumRows = number] [, .InitialColWidth = number or text] [, .Format = number] [, .Apply = number]
Remarks
Converts the selected text to a table based on the separator character you specify. If you run TextToTable without any arguments, Word uses tab characters as the separator if there are no commas, or commas if there are no tab characters, or paragraph marks if there are no tab characters or commas, or if there is a mixture of tab characters and commas. The arguments for the TextToTable statement correspond to the options in the Convert Text To Table dialog box (Table menu).
