Re: Splitting multi-line cell into multiple cells in Word (2002)

["David Chinell" <dchinell -at- msn -dot- com>]

Tom:

You don't have to press Ctrl or Shift. Just Alt-dragging 
will select columns of text.

To paste each tab-delimited chunk into a separate cell, 
select a destination area in the table that matches the 
dimensions of what you've copied. For example, say you copy 
two columns by eight rows from your TXT file. If you select 
an empty two columns by eight rows in the destination table 
before pasting, the material will be pasted into separate 
cells.

It can be tedious to count your stuff when selecting and 
pasting, so I usually just convert the source TXT file into 
a table with the desired number of columns (using the Table 
> Convert commands and deleting unwanted columns). Then I 
cut and paste entire rows into the destination table.
