i've got a word document with many tables in it...each cell in each table needs to be an attribute of the same object. how do I do that with a 1000 tables in the document that need to be records/objects?

also noticed in a module that the "created thru" attribute was "extracting" instead of "manual input" which is what i'm use to.

thanks, all

The easiest solution is to write a script to copy the table cells to desired attribute and then delete the tables.

Two approaches -- mortgage the farm and get Telelogic to write a custom script.
or get a contractor to write a script for you.

One other approach would be two convert the tables to excell and then inport by spreadsheet.

In your DOORS module containing tables, look at module menu selection Tools / DXL Library. It opens a dialog windows - browse to the selection "Some example programs..." - here you find a ready-made DXL script "Convert DOORS table into objects", with the following description:

Converts a DOORS table into objects, one per row with columns becoming attributes, and creates a view that minics the original table.
Column one is supposed to contain column titles. Attribute names can be assigned to each column, the values in that column will be saved in that attribute.
The dialogue box using column headers to mimic the view of the table that will be created.

This might not be directly what you need, but at least you have converted tables to objects, with the columns becoming DOORS attributes.

short of copying each table and pasting it into excel, i dont know what other way there is to do that. If it was a couple tables i wouldnt worry, but i have about a 1000 tables in that document..

thanks
