Hmm! Sounds like a bit of a predicament Colin, but I can tell you that what
you want in the
table menu is the 'insert table' option. Having arrowed to that option in the
table menu,
do a right arrow to bring up the sub-menu You will then get a small dialogue
where you can
set number of columns and rows.
Hope this helps a little, but of course tables are, or can be, quite complex,
well as
complicated as you want really.
I did wonder though why you didn't take the text, after removing the private
stuff, and
simply turn it into columns again, but maybe I'm missing something here. The
columns option
is under the format menu.
Hope I've been of some help.

Greetings,
Have you any idea how I get rid of this?
Alec sent the NTE Committee some scanned pages which had columns, but I
could not read across as normal, it read one column,then the second column,
Etc. So, I saved the files separately as text and this put the columns, as
might be expected, after each other. I cannot send them to anybody else, as
they contain confidential data.
So, in the text version, I sorted out the blank lines between the ends of
columns, intending to make into Word tables.
I opened a Word document and thought how do I set up a table of the right
sort? I went into the menus and entered on draw table. Word said it could
not do this unless I was in print layout instead of my usual normal, so I
ok'd that then could not find out the next step. I closed the document
without saving but eversince, I've been unable properly to read anything, it
keeps coming up with tables and borders and strange symbols, even though I
did not save the document.
I deleted the normal.dot file to force Word when I purposely created an
empty document, to create a new normal.dot, as I have learnt from messages
seen on various lists.
I tried unloading Jaws v5.10 and loading v4.5, the results were the same, so
I do not think it is a jaws, but a word problem.
I am using Word2000 from my Office2000Pro, which I have had and not updated
since purchase in late 1999.
any ideas?
