Hi

I need help importing tables from word to excel. There are c. 200 files in a
folder with the same table layout. I found the the code below on a different
thread but it keeps crashing as it says it can't find the file (but it is
there!):

Sub WordToExcel()
Dim wdApp As Word.Application
Dim wdDoc As Word.Document
Dim x As Integer
Dim strFilename As String
Dim temp As String

Set wdApp = New Word.Application
'initialise counter
x = 1
'search for first file in directory
strFilename = Dir("C:\Documents and Settings\rafflej\Desktop\loads\*.doc")
'amemd folder name
Do While strFilename < ""
Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(strFilename) // BREAKS DOWN HERE
temp = wdDoc.Tables(1).Cell(2, 1).Range.Text 'read word cell
Range("A2").Offset(x, 0) = temp
temp = wdDoc.Tables(1).Cell(2, 2).Range.Text 'read word cell
Range("A2").Offset(x, 1) = temp
'etc


wdDoc.Close
x = x + 1
strFilename = Dir
Loop
wdApp.Quit
Set wdDoc = Nothing
Set wdApp = Nothing
End Sub

Thanks Guys

Dir() command returns only the file name...You should supply the path name
separately. Try the below.....

Sub WordToExcel()
Dim wdApp As Word.Application
Dim wdDoc As Word.Document
Dim x As Integer
Dim strFilename As String
Dim strFolder As String
Dim temp As String

Set wdApp = New Word.Application
'initialise counter
x = 1
'search for first file in directory
strFolder = "C:\Documents and Settings\rafflej\Desktop\loads\"
strFilename = Dir(strFolder & "*.doc")
'amemd folder name
Do While strFilename < ""
Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(strFolder & strFilename)
temp = wdDoc.Tables(1).Cell(2, 1).Range.Text 'read word cell
Range("A2").Offset(x, 0) = temp
temp = wdDoc.Tables(1).Cell(2, 2).Range.Text 'read word cell
Range("A2").Offset(x, 1) = temp
'etc

wdDoc.Close
x = x + 1
strFilename = Dir
Loop
wdApp.Quit
Set wdDoc = Nothing
Set wdApp = Nothing
End Sub

Thanks Jacob. Is there any way of copying the whole table at once and then
pasting into Word?

Sorry, I meant copy the table from Word, then paste directly into Excel. Cheers
