SUMMARY
After you insert a table into a Word for Windows document file, there are three ways to delete it:

Word for Windows Versions 2.0 and 6.0

 * 1) Select the table or section of rows. From the Table menu, choose Delete Rows.
 * 2) Select the table or section of table. From the Table menu, choose Convert Table to Text, and choose either Paragraph Marks, Tabs, or Commas. Press ENTER.
 * 3) Select the table or section of the table and at least one paragraph marker below the table. Press the DEL key.

Word for Windows Version 1.x

 * 1) Select the table or a portion of the table. From the Edit menu, choose Table (ALT+D A), and choose the Delete button.
 * 2) Select the table or section of table. From the Insert menu, choose Table To Text (ALT+I T), select Paragraphs from the Convert Table To dialog box, and press ENTER.
 * 3) Select the table or section of the table and at least one paragraph marker below the table. Press the DEL key.

Insert Table To Text converts the table format to text format without deleting the text contained in the table. Each cell in the table is converted into a separate paragraph.
