Converting Word text into Access database

[Taylor]

Is there a simple way to take information from a table in
Word and dump it into an Access database that is already
set up?

I wish there were. A WORD "table" and an Access Table are quite
different beasts, and there isn't any simple, straightforward way to
do this!

What I've had to do in the past is to copy and paste the Word table
into Excel, and then link to the spreadsheet. Even this has its
headaches.

Select just the table in Word. Edit, Copy...
Open your mdb, open your table, Edit menu, Paste append.
