Copying tables from word to excel incl. formatting

[Cecilie]

Hi, I'm new in VBA, so bear with me!

I'm trying to extract data from 13 tables I have in a word-doc.
Via google and other sites, I figured out how to extract all data from the tables. However, I would like to keep the formatting, as there is both bold-font, and bullets in the word-document.
Can anyone help me with this? Basically it would be to copy/paste all tables manually from word to excel including the formatting.

My code right now is this:

Option Explicit

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
Dim resultRow As Long
Dim tableStart As Integer
Dim tableTot As Integer


On Error Resume Next


wdFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Word files (*.docx),*.docx", , _
"Browse for file containing table to be imported")


If wdFileName = False Then Exit Sub '(user cancelled import file browser)


ActiveSheet.Range("A:AZ").ClearContents


Set wdDoc = GetObject(wdFileName) 'open Word file


With wdDoc
    TableNo = wdDoc.Tables.Count
    tableTot = 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 the table to start from", "Import Word Table", "1")
    End If


    resultRow = 1


    For tableStart = TableNo To tableTot
        With .Tables(tableStart)
            'copy cell contents from Word table cells to Excel cells
            For iRow = 1 To .Rows.Count
                
                For iCol = 1 To .Columns.Count
                    Cells(resultRow, iCol) = .cell(iRow, iCol).Range.Text
                Next iCol
                resultRow = resultRow + 1
            Next iRow
        End With
        resultRow = resultRow + 1
    Next tableStart
    


End With




End Sub

Copying Word tables to Excel has a number of problems, including that Word cells with multiple paragraphs become separate rows when pasted into Excel and columns in Word tables can have varying cell widths - which Excel doesn't support. That said, see, for example: https://www.excelguru.ca/forums/show...ll=1#post36586

A simple version. But I do not know whether effective.

Sub ImportWordTable_1()

    Dim wdDoc       As Object
    Dim wdFileName  As Variant
    Dim TableNo     As Integer
    Dim iRow        As Long
    Dim resultRow   As Long
    Dim tableStart  As Integer
    Dim tableTot    As Integer




    'On Error Resume Next




    wdFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Word files (*.docx),*.docx", , _
                                             "Browse for file containing table to be imported")




    If wdFileName = False Then Exit Sub    '(user cancelled import file browser)


    ActiveSheet.Range("A:AZ").Clear


    Set wdDoc = GetObject(wdFileName)    'open Word file




    With wdDoc
        
        TableNo = wdDoc.Tables.Count
        tableTot = 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 the table to start from", "Import Word Table", "1")
        End If


        resultRow = 1


        For tableStart = TableNo To tableTot
            
            With .Tables(tableStart)
                .Range.Copy
                iRow = .Rows.Count
            End With


            ActiveSheet.Cells(resultRow, 1).Select
            ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:="HTML", Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False
            resultRow = resultRow + iRow
        Next tableStart


        .Close False 'close document


    End With


    Set wdDoc = Nothing


End Sub

Thank you, that almost fixed my problem! :-)
Now it just skips some of the rows!

I don't know how I have posted two questions, but I also asked the one you are referring to

Well, you asked the same question on two completely different forums. Kinda hard not to know you've done that - or how...
