You should look into the Apache POI project: http://poi.apache.org, specifically the section for their Java Word document format implementation: http://poi.apache.org/hwpf/index.html

Hope this helps.

You might be able to use Open Office to convert the DOC file to a more easily parsed .RTF or HTML format.

Welcome to JavaRanch.

The POI library is nowhere near being able to read table data from DOC files. Go with Bill's suggestion and look into the OO Java API; it has a steep learning curve, though.

I've never won anything before. Not even a tiny ad:
