If you are importing a document from versions of Word earlier than version 4.0 that contain side-by-side paragraphs, tab-delimited text, comma-delimited text, or if you want to place some paragraphs into a table, you can convert the text to a table by doing the following:


 * 1) Highlight the paragraph or paragraphs to be placed into a table.
 * 2) From the Document menu, choose Insert Table.
 * 3) Select the appropriate Convert From option (tabs, side-by-side, comma, paragraph) for the text being converted, and the desired amount of columns and rows needed.
 * 4) Click the OK button to return to the document.

For more information on tables or how to adjust the sizes of the columns, see pages 362-375 in the “Reference to Microsoft Word” manual for version 4.0.
