Automatically created rows

[Stephen]

I am attempting to convert text to table, but when I
select the "other" option in the "seperate text at"
section, the number of columns go to 8. I change the no.
of col. to 2 and then the rows jump to 120! Please help
me keep the columns at 30 and change the rows to 2.

I think you can use Find and Replace to help with this. It sounds as if
there are a lot of spaces between the numbers. Press Ctrl+H to open the Find
and Replace dialog and type ^w into the "Find what" box. Type a single space
in the "Replace with" box. Replace All. Your numbers will now be separated
by a single space, and you can either use spaces as separators in converting
your text to a table or you can replace spaces with tabs, commas, etc., and
then use them as separators.
