Convert Text to Table is dimmed out in Word 2010

In Word 2010, I want to convert a Table of Contents to a table. Each line is a new paragraph. When I select the text and click Insert Table, I cannot select Convert Text to Table because it is dimmed out or greyed out.

I used the same method in another document, and it worked fine. Both are docx docs.

Answer
Answer
After selecting the table of contents, use CTRL+SHIFT+F9 to convert the table of contents to ordinary text and you should then be able to use the Convert Text to Table facility.
Hope this helps,
