Removing Lines from Cells, Please "Jim" <jim[ at ]nospam.com> 12/13/2008 1:07:50 AM I am trying to copy just the words out of a cell. I know that I can delete the columns by using Table > Delete > Columns, but in one cell I want to delete all of the columns, except for one, and then get rid of the lines for the rows, thus leaving a list of words in the column with no horizontal lines above or below them. Is there a way to do this? Or, do I have to copy-and-paste the info in each line of each cell, in order to do this. I’ve tried everything, and there are many rows. Help. I am using Word 2002. Thanks in advance. Jim ______________________________ This is what I presently have in the cell with the words being within the lines__ And, this is what I need: This is what I presently have in the cell with the words being within the lines

Use the Borders and Shading dialog or (more easily) the Borders button on the Formatting or Tables and Borders toolbar to remove the borders from the selected sides. -- Suzanne S.

But note that merging the column will only retain the text in the first cell. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Jim" <jim[ at ]nospam.com> wrote in message news:ghv1t1$9k0$1[ at ]news.parasun.com...
