Cool Word Tables Trick

I wanted to print out a table form of some data I copied out of SQL EM and into Word. EM just sends text and column headings, so, it looks pretty dissheveled. However, if you select all the data in Word, and then press the Table toolbar button, Word will intelligently recognize the columns and make a nice table.

I can only confirm this on Word 2003 - can anyone confirm it on Word 97/2000/XP?

I can confirm that it doesn't work well at all in Word XP (unless I'm doing something wrong). Some of the column cells end up sharing the same table cell
