Hi everybody,
---

I want to copy data from a Word document containing tables. These tables could contain paragraphs of words or images.

I used the code below found in a video of youtuber "Dinesh Kumar Takyar",

This code dosen't copy images and i have a problem with the formatting of the row height and column width as it just copies it in one continuing line of text,

I want to be able to copy images and to format the row height and column width,

VBA Code:
Sub importTableDataWord()
    'We declare object variables for Word Application and document
    Dim WdApp As Object, wddoc As Object
    'Declare a string variable to access our Word document
    Dim strDocName As String
    'Error handling
    On Error Resume Next
    'Activate Word it is already open
    Set WdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
    If Err.Number = 429 Then
        Err.Clear
        'Create a Word application if Word is not already open
        Set WdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    End If
    WdApp.Visible = True
    
    strDocName = "C:\Users\mtouahri\Desktop\TestWord.docx" ' ### change the name of the document
    'Check relevant directory for relevant document
    'If not found then inform the user and close program
    If Dir(strDocName) = "" Then
        MsgBox "The file " & strDocName & vbCrLf & "was not found in the folder path" & vbCrLf & _
        "C:\Users\mtouahri\.", vbExclamation, "Sorry, that document name does not exist." '###
        Exit Sub
    End If
    
    WdApp.Activate
    
    Set wddoc = WdApp.Documents(strDocName)
    
    If wddoc Is Nothing Then Set wddoc = WdApp.Documents.Open(strDocName)
    wddoc.Activate
    'define variables to access the tables in the word document
    Dim Tble As Integer
    Dim rowWd As Long
    Dim colWd As Integer
    Dim x As Long, y As Long
    x = 1
    y = 1
    
    With wddoc
        Tble = wddoc.Tables.Count
        If Tble = 0 Then
        
            MsgBox "No Tables found in the Word document", vbExclamation, "No Tables to Import"
            Exit Sub
        End If
        'start the looping process to access tables and their rows, columns
        For i = 1 To Tble
            With .Tables(i)
                For rowWd = 1 To .Rows.Count
                    For colWd = 1 To .Columns.Count
                        Cells(x, y) = WorksheetFunction.Clean(.cell(rowWd, colWd).Range.Text)
                        'Access next column
                        y = y + 1
                    Next colWd
                'go to next row and start from column 1
                y = 1
                x = x + 1
        
                Next rowWd
             End With
        
        Next
    End With
    'we don’t need to save the word document
    wddoc.Close Savechanges:=False
    'we quit Word
    WdApp.Quit
    'We finally release system memory allocated to the 2 object variables
    Set wddoc = Nothing
    Set WdApp = Nothing
End Sub
