The following code should return a list of list of lists
(tables->table->rows->cells) for the active document in
Microsoft Word.
Warning! Untested code
########################
import win32com.client
def GetTables():
app = win32com.client.Dispatch('Word.Application')
doc = app.Documents[0]
tables = []
for word_table in doc.Tables:
table = []
for word_row in word_table.Rows:
row = [cell.Range.Text for cell in word_row.Cells]
table.append(row)
tables.append(table)
return tables
