Convert Newspaper Columns To A Table A customer had formatted some information in five newspaper columns that should have been set up using a table or parallel columns. The customer now wanted to transfer the information into a table, so that the information could be sorted and calculated. The customer accomplished this process by doing the following: 1. Block and copy the first newspaper column to the second document screen. Block this column and create a table for it. 2. Follow step 1 for the other four newspaper columns. When finished, there should be five separate tables with one column of information in each table. 3. Clear the original document from document screen one and create a table with five columns and the needed number of rows. Block and copy the columns of information from the five separate tables in document two into the master table on the document one screen. NOTE: This will work only when every line in the newspaper columns ends with a hard return [HRt]. Convert Tabular Columns Into A Table Text in tabular columns cannot be moved/copied into an already existing table. However, a new table can be created around the tabbed text. The steps to do this are as follows: 1. Block (Alt-F4) the text to be included in the table 2. Press Columns/Table (Alt-F7) 3. Select option 2 (Tables) 4. Select option 1 (Create) 5. Select 1 (Tabular Column) or 2 (Parallel Column) This information can be found on page 632 of the WordPerfect 5.1 manual dated 06/91. Text in columns cannot be blocked and appended to an existing table. To add the text to an existing table the user will need to block and copy/move the text to the desired cell and column.
