importing Word table data into Excel - solutions for automation
 

I have lots of documents in Word table format. There are multiple tables of
various columns & rows in each table. Eventually, the data in the Word
tables will be loaded into a SQL database for queries and I'm lookin g to
stage the data in Excel prior to upload into SQL.

What are the methods for importing the Word table data into Excel and
automating this process for multiple Word tables within a Word file?

Is there a native tool or process to do the automation?
Or will this involve custom VB or Macro coding?

Please advise.
Thank you.
