There are two methods to achieve this goal. One is a clean (and therefore preferred!) method and then there is another one that I would keep in the category of hacks. I will talk only about the clean method and it goes like this: Step 1: Open your MS-Word document that contains the table you want to reverse. Now, in the document, locate the table you want to act upon. Step 2: Select the entire table by clicking on the plus ( + ) like sign on the top-left corner of table. Press Ctrl + C to copy the content of table. Step 3: Open a new Worksheet in MS-Excel and place the cursor in cell A1 (the first cell) Step 4: Press Ctrl + V to paste the Word table content into Excel. The spreadsheet will automatically and neatly arrange pasted data in various cells to recreate the exact table. Step 5: Select the just pasted table in Excel and paste it in another cell. This create a copy of table Excel. Step 6: Click on the down arrow given on the Paste button in the Home tab of Excel. A menu with several options will drop down. From this menu select the option of Transpose. And there you go! The table in Excel will invert like a magic. From the dropdown menu, you can also Paste Special option. It will open a dialog box wherein you will have the option to Transpose the table. Step 7: Select the reversed table and again do Ctrl + C to copy it. Go back to MS-Word and paste the table by pressing Ctrl + V So, this was it. Your original table will now appeared reserved. It’s columns will be rows and rows will have become columns.
