Hi, I've just switched from PC to Mac and still finding my way around. On the PC I could convert a table to text no problem using Table --> Convert --> etc. Mac PDF to Word Converter - The Adobe offering is a web app and therefore works in Mac OS X, iOS, Windows, or Linux, and can convert the PDF file into a DOC, DOCX, RTF, or even Excel XLSX files.

A Word table is a great tool for organizing related data. They're easy to create, format, and manipulate. My favorite method is to convert existing text to a table, as follows (in Word 2003). By Dan Gookin. You can easily change a Word 2007 table into text. When you do, the Convert Table to Text dialog box allows you to fine-tune the results; for example, you can separate the final text with paragraph marks or tabs.

For Word 2010:

Select the table
Go to the Tables Tools / Layout tab on the ribbon
Press Convert to Text

Similar functionality exists in previous versions of Word too.

You could simply cut and paste it into another instance of Word, pasting with 'keep text only'.Then afterwards you can just cut n' paste back into the original document. Worked for me.

Just figured out one better. Instead of converting to txt, which doesnt honor the aligment (I had mine centered), simply go to Table Tools, Design. They have a few drop boxes named Border Styles, Line Style, ect. Go to the box with perpendicular perforated lines titled Boarders and select the No Boarder option!
