Hi lm'
Current versions of Pages do not have the convenient Table to Text conversion available in the now archaic '09 version.
Here are one way to do the conversion:
Copy the contents of the table.
Paste the contents into a text box.
Your text box will now contain text values separated by tabs, with rows separated by returns.
You can use command-F to find \t (tabs) and replace with ', ' (comma space — without the quotes) if desired.
Regards,
Barry

Thought I would mention that LibreOffice Writer v6.4.0 (current 2020-02-06) has a Table menu : Convert > [table to text||text to table] capability that converts in-place. A table, when copy/pasted from LibreOffice Writer becomes a table in Pages v8.2.1, and the text from a table converted to text in LibreOffice Writer, is pasted into Pages as text, not converted into a table.
