delimited by slashes or commas, for example. It is also possible to enter multiple
characters here.
Note: The separator must not occur within an entry; if it does, TextMaker will
of course treat it as such and divide the entry in two.
Remove quotation marks
If you check this option, TextMaker will remove all surrounding quotation
marks from the text entries when they are converted.
This is useful when, for example, you want to convert a list in which all the
entries are enclosed in quotation marks ("Henry"; "Meyer"; ...). Many database
programs generate lists of this type.
Remove trailing/leading spaces
If you check this option, TextMaker will remove all leading and trailing spaces
from the text entries when they are converted. (Spaces within a particular text
entry will not be removed.)
Note: It is also possible to proceed in the opposite direction: you can convert tables
into text (see the previous section.)
Sorting tables
You can let TextMaker sort the rows of a table using the Table > Sort Table
command.
Note: This command is applicable only to tables. If you want to sort ordinary
text paragraphs, please read section “Sorting text” beginning on page 207.
To have TextMaker sort the rows of a table, proceed as follows:
1. Position the text cursor in any cell of the table.
Or: If you want to have only a part of the table sorted, select the rows to be
sorted.
2. Invoke the Table > Sort Table command.
3. In the dialog box, choose the column whose contents are to be used as the basis
of the sort. If desired, you can specify multiple columns as sort criteria (see below).
