Stuck with complex data in Word documents and need to analyze information but sick of manually copying and pasting tables into Excel spreadsheets? Thankfully, Excel belongs to the same Microsoft product suite as Word, and hence converting one to the other is fairly straightforward. Intelligent Document Processing tools can help solve most challenges we have encountered in this article, such as tedious pre-processing methods for conversion using Microsoft's native features, dealing with multiple tables or split tables, and significant post-processing effort even after successful Word to Excel conversion. These tools can automatically detect the tables, partial or whole, singular or multiple and extract them separately, merge the same table across different pages into one, and create a pre-configured Excel spreadsheet for data extraction. The volume of documents also makes simple methods slow and inefficient, requiring intelligent document understanding and integration with other software like CRM, ERP or database to carry out processes efficiently at scale.
