How it works

How to convert Word to Excel

To convert Word to Excel, open your document above, tick the tables you want, and press Convert. Every table becomes a sheet in an Excel workbook (.xlsx).

Only tables are copied, because ordinary paragraphs have no rows or columns to put in a spreadsheet. Merged cells are kept, header rows stay bold and frozen at the top, and numbers can be turned into real values you can sort and total.

  1. 01

    Open your Word file

    Choose a .docx file. All the tables in it are found and previewed, each labelled with the text just above it.

  2. 02

    Choose the tables

    Every table is ticked to start with. Untick any you do not need.

  3. 03

    Pick a layout

    “Sheet per table” gives each table its own sheet. “One sheet” stacks them with an empty row in between.

  4. 04

    Convert and download

    Press Convert to download an .xlsx file for Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice.

Features

What it does well

  • Numbers you can use

    Text such as 1,234.50, 12%, (250) or $5,000 becomes a real number with a matching format, ready for formulas. Documents that write numbers as 1.234,50 work too.

  • Codes stay intact

    Values like 007, part numbers and long IDs stay as text, so leading zeros and digits are never lost.

  • Structure kept

    Merged cells, multi-line cells and bold header rows come across, and header rows are frozen when you scroll.

  • Named sheets

    Each sheet is named after the heading or caption above its table, so they are easy to find.

Good to know

  • Text outside tables is not copied.
  • Tables inside other tables are flattened into the text of their cell.
  • Dates stay as text, because Word does not record which date format was meant.
  • Older .doc files need to be saved as .docx first.

Privacy

The document is read and the workbook is created inside this browser tab. Neither file is uploaded.

Questions

Word to Excel FAQ

How do I copy a table from Word to Excel?
Open the document here, keep the table ticked, and convert. Each table arrives on its own sheet with its rows and columns in place.
What happens to text that is not in a table?
It is left out. A spreadsheet needs rows and columns, so only tables are converted.
Why do some numbers stay as text?
Values with leading zeros (such as 007), very long digit strings, or unusual formats are kept as text on purpose, so nothing is changed or rounded. Untick “Turn numbers into real numbers” to keep everything as text.
Can I put all the tables on one sheet?
Yes. Choose “One sheet” under Layout. Tables are stacked in order with an empty row between them.
Can I turn the spreadsheet back into a Word table?
Yes, with Excel to Word.
