Hi , i have a WORD (2003 SP2) document that has about 1000 tables in it. I need to work on these - and i need to work on these in Excel. Now i can copy paste each table into Excel and work on it , but this is time consuming and i will have to format a lot. the word doc is like this:-

------------------------------------------------------------------
blah blah blah blah
<2 row table>
<heading>
<another large table with 5 cols and 45-100 rows>
blah blah blah blah
.
.
.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

now i need only the tables in Excel - i dont mind if the text (blah blahs) comes in too - i can delete them.....

i am just wondering if there is any magical way i can get all these in Excel without copy paste.... Help !
