Hi to All,
I need some advice on automating a process.
Target: Collect tables from Word and report them to an Excel table.

I cannot use Balareva or no-proprietary UiPath products.

The word contains some sparse tables. I need to collect data from specific tables. (not all).
Between one table and another in the Word, there are text elements, descriptive of the table, which I must ignore.

Ex: i need to collect dt-1 dt-3 dt-5

Word format:

Text Description - Text Description - Text Description - Text Description
Text Description - Text Description - Text Description - Text Description
Text Description - Text Description

DT-1 (to collect)

Text Description - Text Description - Text Description - Text Description -
DT-2 ( not to be collected )

Text Description - Text Description - Text Description - Text Description -
Text Description - Text Description - Text Description - Text Description -

DT-3 (to collect)

Text Description - Text Description - Text Description - Text Description -
Text Description - Text Description - Text Description - Text Description -

DT-4 (not to be collected)

Text Description - Text Description - Text Description - Text Description -
Text Description - Text Description - Text Description - Text Description -

DT-5 (to collect)

I am autonomous of compiling the excel, if I could structure the collection of tables from word.
Has anyone done similar work and can you help me?
Thanks
Aaron
