Text to Table

I've got a document in which I have separated columns of information with Tabs, I'd like to put that information into a Table without having to retype it all, can you help?

RE: Text to Table

Answer to the question:
In your list or text file; items can be separated by commas or tabs (tabs work best), note all lines must have the same number of items.
1. Select the entire list
2. Menu command Table, Convert, Text to Table
3. Under AutoFit behaviour, select how wide to make the columns and table (Fixed column width: and set the desired width; Autofit to contents or AutoFit to window).
4. Under Separate text at; (depending on how the original text items were separated, select Tabs or Commas)
Click on OK
Your text is now in a table with the cell entries being governed by the tab or comma positions.
