Table.ConvertToText (Word)

Converts a table to text and returns a Range object that represents the delimited text.

When you apply the ConvertToText method to a Table object, the object is deleted. To maintain a reference to the converted contents of the table, you must assign the Range object returned by the ConvertToText method to a new object variable. In the following example, the first table in the active document is converted to text and then formatted as a bulleted list.

Set rngTemp = _ 
 tableTemp.ConvertToText(Separator:=wdSeparateByParagraphs) 
 
rngTemp.ListFormat.ApplyListTemplate _ 
 ListTemplate:=ListGalleries(wdBulletGallery).ListTemplates(1)
