Hello Folks,

I have a 900+ page word doc that has data in it that was on HTML web pages. I copy and pasted it in there for a big edit of data.

There are many tables within the documents that I've tried to get rid of but converting Table to Text had mixed results and there are actually some tables that I need to keep.

So here's the challenge, I am trying to simply SELECT text and then COPY it to another document so I can get a clean document. Almost every time I make a text / paragraph / group of paragraph selection, the entire table gets selected. I can't use that. I only need what I'm trying to copy out of the doc.

More back story: After I pasted the 900 pages into Word for auditing, we went through and color coded RED for delete and BLACK for keep. All this data is in hundreds of tables. Instead of trying to mess with the document and remove all tables and so on, I figured it would be easy to just copy out the 100 or so things I do need and just leave the "RED" stuff in there.

Already Tried These
TOOLS>OPTIONS>EDIT | Unchecked "use smart paragraph selection"

CONVERT TABLE to TEXT | mixed results with bulleting and tabbing taking places, very bad

Praying | As always, no response

Got any ideas folks?
And thank you in advance and I mean a HUGE thank you in advance!
