# Word table to Excel converter (.docx)

A free Duaer tool: open a .docx and every table in it becomes its own Excel sheet, with line breaks inside cells kept. No upload.

Interactive converter (runs in the browser, no upload): https://doc.duaer.com/tools/word-table-to-excel/

## How to use it

1. Drop the file into the box above, or click "choose a file".
2. Check the preview to make sure rows and columns line up.
3. Click "Download .xlsx".
4. Save old .doc files as .docx in Word or WPS first.

## Conversion rules

- Only real Word tables are read; layouts faked with spaces or tabs are not.
- Horizontally merged cells: the value goes in the first cell and the rest stay blank. Vertically merged cells keep the value in the first row.
- Text from a table nested inside a cell is merged into that cell.

## Automate it in Duaer

If these tables arrive every week, ask the sender for Excel or CSV instead: Duaer reads them with [Extract from File](/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/duaer-nodes-base.extractfromfile.md) and combines them as in [Merge Excel files](/tasks/merge-excel-files.md), so nobody converts by hand.
## Questions

### Why does it say no table was found?

The "table" may be text aligned with spaces, or a pasted image. The Duaer converter reads Word table objects only.

### Does a .docx saved from WPS work?

Yes. WPS saves the same .docx format as Word, and the Duaer converter reads both.
