Hi Marilyn

You will need to give us a bit more information...

What kind of document was it?
What did it contain before you turned it into a table?
What did you do to turn it into a table?

Also what version of Ubuntu and OpenOffice.org are you using.

Hi Tony:
It was a word document. I selected all and then went to tables and asked it to turn the document into tables. It is a list of all the people I send Christmas cards to. Thanks for your help.
Marilyn

Hi Marilyn

As far as I understand you, you opened a MS Word document (with a .doc extension) in OpenOffice.org (version 2.4?). You selected all the text in it. Took Table > Convert > Text to Table. This gives you a Convert Text to Table dialog. Did you change anything there? When you clicked OK, was there a table there? With nothing in it? Or did your document just disappear? Or did you save it somewhere, then could not find it again?

Can you email me an example file like it? If you click on my name, under Subscribers opposite, you will see my contact details.
