Quickly transpose rows and columns in a Word table
Kutools for Word
When transposing rows into columns or columns into rows within a Word document, the typical method involves copying the table to Excel, using the Paste Special feature to transpose the data, and then pasting it back into Word. To simplify this cumbersome process, the Transpose Table feature in Kutools for Word lets you transpose tables directly within Word in just two clicks.
