Hi again sopranour,
Here is some code that reads a table from Word into the active worksheet of Excel. It prompts you for the word document as well as the table number if Word contains more than one table.
Sub ImportWordTable()
Dim wdDoc As Object
Dim wdFileName As Variant
Dim TableNo As Integer 'table number in Word
Dim iRow As Long 'row index in Excel
Dim iCol As Integer 'column index in Excel
wdFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Word files (*.doc),*.doc", , _
"Browse for file containing table to be imported")
If wdFileName = False Then Exit Sub '(user cancelled import file browser)
Set wdDoc = GetObject(wdFileName) 'open Word file
With wdDoc
TableNo = wdDoc.tables.Count
If TableNo = 0 Then
MsgBox "This document contains no tables", _
vbExclamation, "Import Word Table"
ElseIf TableNo > 1 Then
TableNo = InputBox("This Word document contains " & TableNo & " tables." & vbCrLf & _
"Enter table number of table to import", "Import Word Table", "1")
End If
With .tables(TableNo)
'copy cell contents from Word table cells to Excel cells
For iRow = 1 To .Rows.Count
For iCol = 1 To .Columns.Count
Cells(iRow, iCol) = WorksheetFunction.Clean(.cell(iRow, iCol).Range.Text)
Next iCol
Next iRow
End With
End With
Set wdDoc = Nothing
End Sub
This macro should be inserted into Excel (not Word) and put into a standard macro module rather than into the worksheet or workbook event code modules. To do this, go to the VBA (keyboard Alt-TMV), insert a macro module (Alt-IM), and paste the code into the code pane. Run the macro from the Excel interface as you would any other (Alt-TMM).
If your document contains many tables, as would be the case if your 100+ page table is actually a separate table on each page, this code could easily be modified to read all the tables. But for now I am hoping it is all one continuous table and will not require any modification.
