Deleting items from a Table of Contents - Hi, I am using Word 2007. Up items from a bulleted list, and when I attempted to delete those items. How to remove table in MS Word while retaining the text inside of it. Just figured out one better. Instead of converting to txt, which doesnt honor the aligment (I had mine centered), simply go to Table Tools, Design. They have a few drop boxes named Border Styles, Line Style, ect. Go to the box with perpendicular perforated lines titled Boarders and select the No Boarder option!
If you’ve inserted a table in Word and you now want to delete it, you may have found it’s not all that straightforward to delete the entire table without deleting other content around the table. We’ll show you a couple of ways around this limitation. To delete a table, first.
Click the “Layout” tab under “Table Tools”. Click “Delete” in the “Rows & Columns” section and select “Delete Table” to delete the table. You can also use the “Delete Columns” and “Delete Rows” options to delete the entire table as long as the entire table is selected. Another way to delete the entire table once you’ve selected it, is to click “Cut” in the “Clipboard” section of the “Home” tab.
You can also press “Ctrl + X”. Pressing the “Delete” key on the keyboard will not delete the entire selected table. It will only delete the contents of the cells. However, if you have selected at least one paragraph before or after the table as well as the table, the table can be deleted using the “Delete” key.
