Posted on by CU02100314-1 2
I'm trying to use the Extract UI data action that you provide in power automate desktop to a table within a Word document. I only get the data element when it contains the mail link, but the data in the other columns that are with text, I don't get them. I have tried to get them with capture the text option, I have modified them manually by the text editor and nothing works. any reference?
 
I used: 
 
and nothing....
The idea is to capture them and take them to an Excel sheet
 
thanks
