Hi NaveenG
As far as I can see, table data from MS Word documents are tab separated.
So you have 2 options:
1) Copy the table data to Excel worksheet and use Excel VBO action ""Get Worksheet as Collection"". Tab separated values get their own cell in Excel when pasted.
2) See my last comment from this thread: https://portal.blueprism.com/forums/technical-queries/general/how-fetch-data-separated-tab-collection-text-file - where I provide a solution for how to fetch data from a text file, same principles apply here.
They are both quite fast actions, but of course it all depends on how much data you have to fetch with regards to which option is faster.
Good luck
BR,
Mustafa

Hi Naveen
Use Ctrl A + Ctrl C, and if necessary,
filter out text before and after your MS Word document's table - and follow either one of the instructions above.
