Thanks, Cor. I was using Table > Convert. However, I had not thought of pasting as unformatted text -- that should be fine, so I'll try that out.

Hi Lindsay,

I have been copying text from web pages into Writer, and then trying
to convert the resultant table to text.  But the table remains, and I
just cannot remove it.  No problems in, dare I say it, in MS Word,
but how do I do it in OpenOffice?

When the cursor is in a table, you can choose Table|Convert|... etc.

Also: when copying from a webpage or e-mail to an office document, I would always try Edit|Paste special > Unformatted text .

HTH & regards,
Cor
