TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If you have MultiMacro from www.editorium.com, you could create a single
macro for finding a table and converting it to text and then run the macro
over and over again -- automatically -- until all of the tables in the
document have been converted.
Your "working" file would say (this will make sense if you download
MultiMacro and see what I'm talking about):
ConvertIM
Convert IM
(Repeat as many times as needed to get all tables in the doc -- might as
well copy it in 100 times.)
You can download a trial version of MultiMacro easily.
