Hi all,
I would like to know if there is any method to extract tables from a Word document.
The text I am working on at the moment has a lot of pages and, apart from that, a lot of tables. This slows down Trados and Word itself.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Noemí

Copy you file, say origin.doc into 3 copies: compare.doc, text.foc. and tables.doc Open text doc and kill all tables. Open then tables and kill all text pieces. Then start TRADs TM WB and treat separately text.doc and tables doc. The resulting files when can be joined into opened compare.doc by past+copy from results of text and tabs treated. In this case, 1) TRAD has not go mad with complex composition of page; 2) easily works with tabs and text separately. It may also help ... See more

Another trick

If there are not too many tables, you can save a copy of the file and convert all tables to text. Then you translate this file (not slowed by tables), save it and tranlate the original file (including tables) using the Tools - Translate feature from workbench. Jørgen

1. If you want to extract all tables in your document, you can use the following VBA codes:
Sub ExtractTablesFromOneDoc() Dim objTable As Table Dim objDoc As Document Dim objNewDoc As Document Dim objRange As Range
Set objDoc = ActiveDocument Set objNewDoc = Documents.Add
For Each objTable In objDoc.Tables objTable.Range.Select Selection.Copy ... See more
There are many methods to do so:
1. If you want to extract all tables in your document, you can use the following VBA codes:
Sub ExtractTablesFromOneDoc() Dim objTable As Table Dim objDoc As Document Dim objNewDoc As Document Dim objRange As Range
Set objDoc = ActiveDocument Set objNewDoc = Documents.Add
For Each objTable In objDoc.Tables objTable.Range.Select Selection.Copy
' Paste tables to new document in rich text format. Set objRange = objNewDoc.Range objRange.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd objRange.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteRTF objRange.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd objRange.Text = vbCr Next objTable
End Sub
2. If you only want to extract a specific table from your document, you can use the following code:
Sub ExtractSpecificTables() Dim objTable As Table Dim objDoc As Document Dim objNewDoc As Document Dim objRange As Range Dim strTable As String
strTable = InputBox("Enter the table number: ") Set objDoc = ActiveDocument Set objNewDoc = Documents.Add
Set objRange = objNewDoc.Range objRange.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd objRange.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteRTF
End Sub
3. If you want to extract tables from multiple documents, you can use the following codes:
Sub ExtractTablesFromMultiDocs() Dim objTable As Table Dim objDoc As Document, objNewDoc As Document Dim objRange As Range Dim strFile As String, strFolder As String
