Reading Microsoft word Table

Question

How to import Microsoft word table into c# 2D array.

Answer 1

You can install Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word via the NuGetPackage managers

The type op wordApp is Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application

This is code, I have tested succesfully.
It does not contain error handling and freeing of the word object.
You need to add that yourself.

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application myWordApplication = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
myWordApplication.Visible = false;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document myWordDocument = null;

object fileName = "c:\\temp\\WordTableTest.docx";

object readOnly = false;
object isVisible = false;
object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
myWordDocument = myWordApplication.Documents.Open(ref fileName, ref missing,
ref readOnly, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref isVisible, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing);
myWordDocument.ActiveWindow.Visible = false;
MessageBox.Show(myWordDocument.Tables.Count.ToString());

Answer 2

You solution is the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

With the Microsoft interop you can load word documents and iterated through it collections and texts.

Open word document
wordDoc = wordApp.Documents.Open( <your filename>

Get the tables
int tablecount = wordDocument.Tables.Count;

Get a specific table
Word.Table wTable = wordDocument.Tables[i];

and make a loop to import the table in to your 2D array
