Ok I tried out bring the table into word and converting it to text.

Noticed that in some cases it was actually taking me longer than if I made the table in Realm Works, and just copied and pasted or typed the text.

It was having to merge cells and the align the columns evenly and make sure they all fit

For example I have a column table that has for example an item with a name in one and price in another

Housing Poor 50
Housing Moderate 120

This gets turned into a 3 column table when I conert it to a table in Word as it makes a new table where each space is.
I then have to merge 2 cells and fix the text so the cell with
Housing Poor shows it as
Housing Poor
instead of
Housing
Poor

with Poor being on another line.

Word wasn't recognizing making the table right even with the delimiters recommended to use by Silveras.

On a positive note for some tables despite having to do all the merging, etc. it still came out quicker than have to do the table from the ground up. So the cut and paste into Word and make table then cut into Realm works is good for only some tables I've noticed to speed up entry time into Realm Works.

The trick is knowing what tables to do this for and which ones not to.
