VBA code to read tables from Word document - vba

Question

Need help to modify this VBA code to read multiple tables from a Word document. It only reads one table, but I would like to import more than one into the same Excel sheet.
Sub ImportWordTables()
'Imports a table from Word document
Dim wdDoc As Object
Dim wdFileName As Variant
Dim TableNo As Integer 'number of tables in Word doc
Dim iTable As Integer 'table number index
Dim iRow As Long 'row index in Excel
Dim iCol As Integer 'column index in Excel
wdFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Word files (*.doc*),*.doc*", , _
"Browse for file containing table to be imported")
If wdFileName = False Then Exit Sub '(user cancelled import file browser)
Set wdDoc = GetObject(wdFileName) 'open Word file
With wdDoc
TableNo = wdDoc.tables.Count
If TableNo = 0 Then
MsgBox "This document contains no tables", _
vbExclamation, "Import Word Table"
ElseIf TableNo > 1 Then
TableNo = InputBox("This Word document contains " & TableNo & " tables." & vbCrLf & _
"Enter table number of table to import", "Import Word Table", "1")
End If
With .tables(TableNo)
'copy cell contents from Word table cells to Excel cells
For iRow = 1 To .Rows.Count
For iCol = 1 To .Columns.Count
Cells(iRow, iCol) = WorksheetFunction.Clean(.cell(iRow, iCol).Range.Text)
Next iCol
Next iRow
End With
End With
Set wdDoc = Nothing
End Sub

So this is the code, but it doesn't entirely answer my questions.
I just need the tables from the pdf.

You can use this to do something with each table in the document:
Dim oTbl As Table
For Each oTbl In ActiveDocument.Tables
' Do something
Debug.Print oTbl.Columns.Count & " " & oTbl.Rows.Count
Next
You'll need to figure out how you want the user to specify which table/tables to work with.
Something like this, perhaps:
Sub UserChosenTables()
Dim oTbl As Table
Dim sTemp As String
Dim aTables() As String
Dim x As Long
sTemp = InputBox("Which tables", "Select tables")
If Len(sTemp) = 0 Then ' user entered nothing
Exit Sub
End If
aTables = Split(sTemp, ",")
' of course you'll want to add more code to CYA in case the user
' asks for a table that's not there or otherwise enters something silly.
' You might also want to let them enter e.g. ALL if they want you to do all of them
' (but don't know how many there are)
For x = LBound(aTables) To UBound(aTables)
Set oTbl = ActiveDocument.Tables(CLng(aTables(x)))
' do [whatever] with table here
Debug.Print oTbl.Columns.Count & " " & oTbl.Rows.Count
Next
End Sub
