So you want to remove the table in your word document while the text inside the table should retain its structure as it is, right?
Select the table by clicking on the small plus sign on the top left corner.

Once you select the table, two new menu options appear on the Menu bar – Design and Layout.
Click the Layout tab on the ribbon > click Covert to Text

Convert Table to Text window opens > select Separate text with Tabs (it's the best option to retain the structure, however you can try the others as well) > click OK

It retains the structure almost as it was. You can, however, use Tab or Space bar to rearrange the text.
