Hi Sandi, Yes, 2010 has the virtual ribbon, and I think I will do better with the long route. (smile) Thank you so much for this info!! Have a great day!!! Sue S.

Does 2010 have the virtual ribbons? If so, put your cursor into the table, go to the Office toolbar and click on "Select" then choose "Table." Next you may be able to bring up the context menu by right clicking, and check whether "convert" is in that menu. I haven't tried that. If not, in Page Layout, if you tab clear to the right, there are two menus called "Design" and "Layout." I think "Convert" is in the "Layout" menu, and would give you the submenu that was mentioned earlier. Sorry, I don't know shortcuts for this, even though I'm totally blind. But this is doable. Hope this helps.

Is there a way to get rid of the table symbols so that the text will be easily read? I am working in MSWord 2010 with Jaws 12.
