Want Cells in Struct to Show Up as a String

Hello,
I have a structure array, and the first column within that structure array is set up to be equal to the first column of another table.
That table's first column is all words, but in the structure array, it appears as '1x1 table' and not 'Apple', 'Banana', etc.
If I double-click where it says '1x1 table', I can then see where it says 'Apple'.
I'd like the names/words to be visibly in the structure array itself before double-clicking on each cell.
What I tried doing was first turning that first column of the table to its own table, then convert that entire new table to a string, but I keep on getting errors.
Let me know if this isn't clear, I can try to elaborate more if need be.
Thanks.

Please upload the structre and the table so we can take a look.
Can you share your data/variable by posting here in *.mat?
Unfortunately I cannot share my file, but I will try to recreate my problem in a simpler manner.

T.data = table(["Apple";"Banana"])
T.data = table2array(table(["Apple";"Banana"]))
You can use table2array function as above

Thank you for your response.
I'm not sure if this is exactly what I need though.
Currently the table is 40x1, every element in that table is a word, and the words don't have any apostrophes around them.
Essentially I think I need to add apostrophes to each element in the 40x1 table, I will try the table2array function again.
