Why can't I convert table to text?

[Mouse Manoeuvres]

I select the whole table;
Select Table in menu bar;
Select Convert and nothing happens;
No sub-menu appears to enable selection of "Convert table to text" or
"Convert text to table"

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Try just clicking in the table instead of selecting it, as that should
suffice (as opposed to text, where you do have to select it).
