Data transfer from Word tables to Excel

Thanks eNGiNe. I am not sure if the styles are available in Word 2003. I know this feature is available for Word 2007.

Some familiar gurus have discussed this question in microsoft-word-answers.com

The bottom line seems to be "Yes, but differently":

Quote:

Word 2003 [does] permit this for simple lists (Word 2003 and earlier).

I want to be able to put this into datasheet format to maintain a small database.

Are your data in actual tables, or just laid out in a tabular format? If in tables, are they all in the same table or in multiple separate tables? Do all records contains the same set of fields (regardless of whether they have data)?

Can you attach a document to a post with some representative data (delete anything sensitive)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab.

For examples of what can be done (provided the data have a meaningful structure), see:
