I have a word document which contains tables of data. When I am
trying to copy the tables of data to Excel, I am right clicking the
mouse and it has options to copy a picture. So while the data appears
to be a MSWord table, it is actually a 'picture'.
I want to just grab the raw text, paste it in excel and start some
analysis. Any suggestions how I can edit the picture and get the raw
text into Excel?
