Hello,

this could be simple but as a new guy for PAD I have spent hours but can't find the answer:

How to get a text from a table in Word:

E.G the sample picture is getting the number 854785 from a table of Word document (left side of the picture ), but I can't hover the number and every time I can just get the how cell of the table (right site of the picture, and the picture is from a YouTube).

Anything need to be care of when getting UI elements, or we can make some editing for the UI to get the number? thanks.

Is your word doc editable, or is it considered read-only?

hi Ahammand,
I am already using 'Extract data from window', the question is that I am not able to get the correct UI element from a word table, I want to get the text inside the cell of the table instead of the cell.
