- Select the entire table in Word and copy to the clipboard.
- Open a new document in BBEdit and past the copied clipboard into this new document. Here you will see that the table gets pasted in a tab-delimited format.
- Select Markup » Tables » Convert to Table. Adjust the preferences for the conversion as needed, and click on Convert.
[robg adds: This hint was accidentally published yesterday before I had a chance to review it, hence the two existing comments dated from yesterday. I use Smultron extensively, but in contrast with the comment below, as far as I know it cannot handle the conversion of a text block to HTML table code. I also tested TextWrangler, and I don't think it will handle this conversion. I'm sure there must be other tools for this task, though, so if you know of them, please post.]
