Tables you can work with in Word

A real scan with tables, converted and unedited

A typed sales report from a public archive, with two six-column tables and a row of date tick boxes. This is exactly what came back.

The scanned report: a memo header with four date boxes, three short paragraphs, then two grey-headed tables listing accounts with their volume and number of stores.
Before: the scan, an image with no selectable text
The first page of the converted report in Microsoft Word: the date boxes as a small table with one ticked, the paragraphs as text, and both account tables as six-column Word tables.
After: the .docx opened in Microsoft Word (page 1 of 2)
What came through, and what needed fixing

Came through as editable Word

  • Both account tables as six-column Word tables, one row per account
  • Numbers in their own cells, such as “Sico Serve | 104/22 | 18”, with empty cells kept empty
  • The date boxes as a small table: “JUNE 30 ☑” and the other three dates ☐
  • No text boxes or floating frames, in one Word section

Needed a quick fix by hand

  • “Retail” reads “Retall”
  • “FROM:” and “R. E. Lane” land on separate lines below the dates instead of one line
  • The store counts in the second table come out in smaller type than the rest
  • The empty rows are kept, so the last account runs onto a second Word page

Questions about tables

Do merged cells come through?

Yes. Cells that span several columns or rows become merged Word cells. Fonts, bold text and alignment can still differ from the PDF, so check those.

Can I convert only the page with the table?

Yes. After choosing the file, pick the pages you want. You use one credit per page converted.

Does it work on scanned tables?

Yes. The scan is read by text recognition during the conversion. Faint or skewed scans need more checking: Flag scanning errors (on by default) lists words that may be misread.

Can I get the table into Excel?

The result is a Word file. Select the table in Word and paste it into Excel: each Word cell lands in its own Excel cell.
