I am trying to import a webpage into a Word 2002 document
and reformat the contents to match the typeface and other
formatting preferences.

While the text converts correctly, the photos all import
as tables with excess cells around the actual image.

I can manually delete the excess cells but it is
cumbersome and time consuming.

Is there a way to import the images as photos not tables?

Thanks in advance,

John

Likely, the HTML page actually uses a table to layout the
page (position the picture). So I'd say no, there's no way
around this - Word is going to import what the HTML page
contains.

But you might try selecting that table and doing
Table/ConvertTableToText. It would probably be a lot easier
to just delete a couple of paragraph marks and tab
characters than extra table cells.

I can't help with your problem, but a quick way to delate
excess cells is to select them, then press shift delete.
