Right, managed to make some progress this evening. Have a look at the class
below, it assembles an ArrayList of the tables in a Word document currently
but you could easilly change that if you wanted to. I have added lots of
comments - probably too many but if you have any questions, just drop a line
to the forum.
You will need to change this line ;
inputFile = new File("C:\\temp\\table.doc");
to point to the file you wish to process by the way.
import org.apache.poi.hwpf.HWPFDocument;
import org.apache.poi.hwpf.usermodel.Paragraph;
import org.apache.poi.hwpf.usermodel.Table;
import org.apache.poi.hwpf.usermodel.Range;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
