Hello Wayne,

When the cursor is in a table in Word 2007 or Word 2010, a design tab and a
layout tab are added to the right end of the ribbon.  In Word 2010, use Alt
key followed by J followed by L followed by V.  I don't remember if that is
the same for Word 2007, but if not, use Alt key and then right arrow key
until you get to the layout tab.  Use the tab key until you find the Convert
Table to Text choice.  When you press enter key on that choice, or after
using Alt followed by J followed by L followed by V, you will be given a
dialog box to make choices.  There will be a group of radio buttons that
represent different characters you can use to replace the column breaks.
The default is the tab key.  Use up or down arrow keys in the group of radio
buttons to choose.  If you choose the "Other" choice, you can then tab to
the edit box and press a spacebar to have one space replace the breaks in
the table.  If you choose "other", you need to add something in the edit
box, the program doesn't let you leave it empty.  Tab to OK and use spacebar
after choosing.  

Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Removing tables

Hello-

 

I am using Windows 7 64 Bit with JAWS 11.  I copied and pasted some text
from the website to a MS Word 2007 document.  I ended up with tables that
did not show on the website.  In XP there was a command that removed tables
and left just the text.  I can't find tables at all in these new formats.
Does anyone know if we can still select tables with text and give a command
to remove them?  Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Wayne
