Vipul,

traditional ASCII-files (*.txt) do not support formatting information except new line and tabulator (and similar). Therefore, if you convert the table to a "spreadsheet" txt, you already lost any information about the table.

I'd say that you should use LV to copy the *.doc file and then remove anything except the table from the new copy. This is the easiest way to keep the table.

hope this helps,

Norbert

Seems that Vipul is very interested in different opinions 😉

I just looked at your explanation (word.doc attached in ANOTHER thread) for doing this and think you'd be better served reading it as a binary file and transmitting that over your modem.  This small program successfully opened your Modem.doc and saved it as another file that was readable in MS Word.  Your doc had images in it, tables will be a piece of donut.  (I added a table just to see it work, and it did.)

Now...  Why do you post multiple threads for the same topic?  If you'd simply explain what you're trying to do and answer the questions posted back to you and show some of the work you've done this process will be beneficial to you and fun for us.  Don't you care that we all have so much work to do?  We have DEADLINES!!!!!!!

Anyway, If you'll promise to behave, we'll probably keep helping you...
