327691 2005-02-23 21:55:00 I want to convert a whole series of tables copied from the net to word, in one click - Office word will do it 1 table at a time...

Is there software out there.

Thanks

327692 2005-02-23 23:27:00 Well what I do is copy it from the website, paste to Notepad, then copy it again from Notepad and paste it back into word. Sounds like a bit of a rigmaroll but it works for me - notepad is ruthless in it's destruction of formatting :P


Edit: I don't think I answered your question then. Damn. In response ot your actual question, no I wouldn't have a clue.

Cheers

Alternatively get hold of a little program called PureText and it will removes all formatting before you paste.
