Default word to excel


In the past I have been able to take certain .doc files and save them as
..txt file and then convert them into .xls files (proividing there are commas
in the right place etc.).

I have a .doc file and someone has inserted a table. Is there anyway I can
convert that table into a .xls file where then contents in the top left
corner of the .doc table will end up in a .xls file in cell A1 etc.?

Thanks

Because I didn't think that would work. I remember trying to do this in the
past and it would copy an image of the table in excel. I just did what you
suggested and it worked.
