Extract word tables (multiple files) into one excel sheet using VBA

Hey,

I really would appreaciate if someone could help me with following problem.

I have a macro which opens one word document and puts the 4^th table into a excel sheet. I would like to add 2 functions.
1. I have about 200 Word documents, i would like to open. Doing this with macro would save a lot of manual effort.
Therefore i found the

Multiselect function

. But this allows me only to select multiple files. Something is missing ...




2. the table is not always the 4th in the documents. Sometimes it is the 5^th or the 6^th so i can't fix it via counting the tables.... . I found the

.find

function. Is it possible to search the Table which starts with "übersicht" an select it to copy?


Thanks alot for help.
