Access 2000... how to import a word document?

I am told Access will allow inport of a Word document by
converting the document to Rich Text w/delimiter, then
into Access.

Does that not work with Access 2000?

It depends what you mean by "import a Word document". If you have data
in a table in a Word document, convert the table to text, paste the text
into a new file, and save it as plain (not rich) text; then import the
text file into Access.

Alternatively, paste the table into Excel, save in Excel or CSV format,
and import the resulting file into Access.

Which of these works best depends on just what's in the data.
