cannot import delimited from MS WORD to access

[Guest]

I want to import a MS Word file to a new Access data base table. I continue
to get the message that I cannot import because the "object" is read only,
and yet I can open the document and edit it in any way. What is the problem?

Hi Bill,

Access can't import data from a Word document. Save it as a plain text
file with one of the standard extensions (e.g. .txt).

If you have already saved the file as a plain-text file, you may be
encountering the problem described in the following KB article ...
