If this list is one that takes attachments, then here is an example file.
Cheers,

Hi Riia,
Can you post a few of the Word files you want to source the data from? you want to work with?
Regards,

Greetings,
I have been using a desktop SEM recently that exports the "spectrum details" as a Word document which contains an image showing the location of each recorded spectrum, another image showing the various peaks observed, and a table with the summary of the results.
I have been using copy-paste to take the numbers from the table into a spreadsheet so that I can make graphs showing the reported wt% of each element for all of the various phases in a sample that I looked at in a session, and all of the various samples for all of the sessions. I am finding that step to be the most time-consuming part of the project, and I can't help but think that it would be much faster if there were a script that could read all of the Word docs and pull the data from each table into either a spreadsheet or a database, labelled with the name of the source file, so that I could jump right to the part about looking at how the various results plot on the graphs.
However, before I approach programming friends to see if any would be willing to help me create such a script, I thought I would ask here: Do any of you already have such a script (or app or other program) that you might be willing to share? What do you do when you want to graph this sort of data?
Thanks,
--Riia, who understands that these numbers are semi-quantitative at best, but it would still be nice to see how the same phases from different samples compare to one another
