#709 Extract text from a table

Recently I have been converting word documents that had transcripts in tables. In order to make the documents more presentable I wanted to take the text from the tables and utilise as regular text in the document. This initially meant quite a bit of cutting and pasting. After a few errors were I cut the entire cell I searched for an easier way and here it is.

Past your table into Word – Go to table layour and hit the convert to text button. Saved me a good few hours.
