Default The tables are turned! Well... not yet.

One more restriction to that approach: unfortunately that does not handle all
the things that can be in a cell, such as Objects (see MS Equation) or
captions, when one goes from Word to Excel.

The quest continues.

Although "macropod" has given you the options within Word, there is a way to
transpose the rows and columns, but it will work only if the table is fairly
simple (no merged cells, not too much fancy formatting). Copy the table in
Word, then open Excel and use Paste Special: Transpose. This will swap the
rows and columns, and you can then copy/paste the text back into Word.

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to turn a Word table so that its columns become rows and

its
rows become columns? If yes... how?

Thank you,
Cooz
