Hi Frank,
I have Word/Access2003.
With a scanner I have successfully converted
a table in a book into a table in Word2003.
I want to transfer this Word2003 table into a
table in Access2003.
Select the table. Table/Convert/Table to Text. Save as a
plain text file (make sure there's nothing else in the
document!). The result will be a standard delimited text
file which Access should be able to import.
Caveat: if the table cells contain paragraph marks you'll
need to remove them (or replace them with something else)
before converting to text. The record delimiter is a
paragraph and you can't change that.
