Hello,

I am attempting to extract text data from a Microsoft Word document into
Excel. Each separate linebreak and sentence is parsed into a separate cell.

The problem is that there are several portion of the document that have
tables, which have text that I don't want to include.

Is there any way to detect text that is embedded within a table?

The code I'm using is as follows:

Sub Get_Text()


Dim rbreakpt As Long
Dim lbreakpt As Long
Dim roffset As Long
Dim curr_Row As Long


Dim SRS_Sent As String
Dim SRS_Temp As String
Dim SRS_Print As String

Set ActiveWB = ActiveWorkbook
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Documents.Open "C:\Work\Stuff.doc", False, True

Rem Access the document
Set currentDocument = objWord.Documents(1)

curr_Row = 1
lbreakpt = 1

SRS_Sent =
currentDocument.TablesOfContents.Application.Activ eDocument.Content.Text
SRS_Temp = SRS_Sent

While ((InStr(lbreakpt, SRS_Sent, vbLf, vbTextCompare)) Or _
(InStr(lbreakpt, SRS_Sent, vbCr, vbTextCompare)))

rbreakpt = InStr(lbreakpt, SRS_Sent, Chr(13), vbTextCompare)
roffset = rbreakpt - lbreakpt
SRS_Temp = Mid(SRS_Sent, lbreakpt, roffset)
lbreakpt = rbreakpt + 1

While (InStr(1, SRS_Temp, ".", vbTextCompare) And Len(SRS_Temp) 2)
SRS_Print = Trim(Left(SRS_Temp, InStr(1, SRS_Temp, ".", _
vbTextCompare)))

ActiveWB.Worksheets(1).Cells(curr_Row, 1).Value = Trim(SRS_Print)
SRS_Temp = Right(SRS_Temp, Len(SRS_Temp) - _
InStr(1, SRS_Temp, ".", vbTextCompare))

'DOC filename
ActiveWB.Worksheets(1).Cells(curr_Row, 2).Value = currentDocument

curr_Row = curr_Row + 1
Wend


'Output rows of any data greater than 1 char
If (Len(SRS_Temp) 1) Then
curr_Row = curr_Row + 1

'DOC req text
ActiveWB.Worksheets(1).Cells(curr_Row, 1).Value = SRS_Temp

'DOC filename
ActiveWB.Worksheets(1).Cells(curr_Row, 2).Value = currentDocument
End If

Wend

'Close the current document
currentDocument.Close

Set currentDocument = Nothing

End Sub



Thanks in advance.
