Script to convert tables to paragraphs

[Jim Owens]

AutoIT is a powerful scripting language, and it comes with good 
documentation. It's intended to act as a surrogate for a human, by 
detecting screen or window activity and sending mouse or keyboard 
responses, but it's also very good for general-purpose programming.

It includes the ability to compile your AU3 program to EXE, so that you 
don't have to start up the scripting environment to run the script.
