Hello Folks,
I am writing a demo for my organisation using Power Automate Desktop and wanted to demonstrate reading data from a Word 'Order Form' and then write the variables to an Excel spreadsheet. Not exactly automation exciting but will hopefully spark some interest from my Colleagues.
When capturing the UI Element from Word I am seemingly unable to focus on the Text itself but instead only on the cell. When the process runs the data in the variable returns, 'Table Cell' and not the visible text value.
This leads me to believe that either I am not defining the UI Element correctly but I'm not offered the opportunity to focus implicitly on the text or the actual value of the cell is held within the captured variable and I simply lack the knowledge to extract the detail.
I would be most grateful for any assistance.
Many thanks,
Gary
Couldn't find a way to capture the text if this is in a cell of a table.
Only way I know is if text is in a Content Control field inside of tables' cell. In this case, you can easily capture the text and send it to an Excel with 'Extract Data from window'
About content controls - Word (microsoft.com)
