Combing multiple tables into one

Question

I have a 179 page word document. There are separate tables on most of the pages. all the tables have the same columns. i want to combine all the tables into one, so i can easily copy and paste it into Excel. I am having difficulty doing this though. I tried the 'Find & Replace' by replace ^p with nothing. But that didnt work.

Hello. I am Leonielhou.

To combine all the tables in your Word document into one table, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Word document containing the tables you want to combine.
2. Select the first table by clicking on it.
3. Press and hold the "Shift" key on your keyboard, then click on the last table in the document. This will select all the tables in the document.
4. Right-click on one of the selected tables, then select "Copy" from the context menu.
5. Go to a new blank Word document.
6. Right-click in the document, then select "Paste" from the context menu.

This will paste all the tables into the new document as a single table. You can then copy and paste the combined table into Excel.

Alternatively, you can also use the "Merge Tables" feature in Word to combine the tables. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the Word document containing the tables you want to combine.
2. Select the first table by clicking on it.
3. Press and hold the "Shift" key on your keyboard, then click on the last table in the document. This will select all the tables in the document.
4. Right-click on one of the selected tables, then select "Merge Tables" from the context menu.

This will merge all the tables into a single table with the same columns. You can then copy and paste the merged table into Excel.

I hope this helps!
