For many years, I’ve had a script which converts selected text in Word to a
table, using tab delimiters (and then fiddles with the table layout). It has
worked just fine:
set tTable to convert to table selection's text object separator tab
It works for Word 365 under Mojave. Under Catalina, however, it ignores the tab
separators and creates a table with only one column.
According to Word’s dictionary, the correct command should be
set tTable to convert to table selection's text object separator
separate by tabs
but if I use that, with exactly the same selection in Word, I get the message
“Microsoft Word got an error: text object of selection doesn’t
understand the “convert to table” message.”
How do I script converting a tab-delimited set of paragraphs in Word into a
table? Any ideas gratefully received.
