Just upgraded from office 97 to 2003

Is there an easy way, now, to get a word table into access?

Thnks

Hi John,

Not in the Tommy Cooper sense.* In principle the new XML features in
Word and Access should help, but it's not just a question of saving the
Word document as XML and then using Access's Import from XML (I've
tried).

What does work at least in some circumstances is:

1) Use Word 2003 to save the document as HTML using the "Web Page
(filtered) option".

2) Import the data from the tables in the HTML document.

*Just like that.
 
Sounds about as handy as the comma delineated. I just got 2003 and
noticed something about Sharepoint services. I know nothing about that.
Could IT be helpful?

COurse, what I want is just copy/paste table from word to access.

thnks

John
 
I've been using Windows SharePoint Services a bit recently, and so far
have found nothing to make me suspect it (they?) would be any help with
this particular problem.
