I had couple of word doc file containing multiple tables in it. My task was to convert them [ appending top down ] to xls. I had used NetOffice with C# for the same.
For that I created Excel App and Word App and selected each tables one by one and pasted it in new sheet.
One known issue is that it was sharing clipboard to do the job. I would like to do it without using system clipboard but did not got any further improvement idea. If anyone can help me on that it'll be excellent for me.
I want to create a console app for this code and want to call is from R or java via system call.
Please tell me whether it will work or not. If not then suggest me some way to do so.
Here is the code :-
