Default convert text to tables

Not sure if Word is the right forum. I use Office 2013. I have a delimited file. four consecutive commas is the column delimiter.
The first 7 columns are only 30 characters in length, the other two columns contains many lines, they also contain carriage return and line feed.
I was not able to import it to Excel,Libre Calc,Rons Editor,csved(let me know if I can add to this list). By that I mean that I wanted the cells in the last two columns, the eighth and the ninth column to wrap lines as and when there is a CRLF. So this did not work because CRLFs are treated as next row in spreadsheets.
Now I want to convert text pasted in word to table. I am using Landscape mode since the eight and ninth column are like(almost) an A4 page themselves.
This option-convert text to table is greyed out.
Help me out please.
THanks in advance
