G'day G'day Folks,

 I have converted some .pdf files to word.

The converter uses spaces to separate the table items into columns.
Each row ends in a paragraph sign.

When I use "Convert text to table" and select a <space> as the
separator I get a fresh table cell for every <space>.

Is it possible to get Word to recognise a string of repeated spaces ie
<space><space><space><space> as a single separator.

If so how is it done?

Best wishes,

--
