    No, you need to select one table at a time, then choose Table -> Convert -> Table to text...

    Of course you can. if your word document is completely filled with tables, the simply press Ctrl + A then press delete or backspace.

    If you want to do it individually, simply go to the upper left portion of the table until arrows going up down left right in a box appear, click it and press delete.
