How to convert doc to dbf file

Converting Microsoft Word Documents directly to Database Files (.doc to .db conversion) is, most likely, not possible; at least not without a workaround.

It appears your best option is to copy and paste the table into a Microsoft Excel worksheet. Then you open your MS Access database (creating a new one if necessary). Select the cells in MS Excel and copy them. Switch to the MS Access database, display the Tables object list and click the Paste command. Upon receiving a notification “Does the first row of your data contain column headings?”, simply answer “Yes” and your Access table is created. Right-click the table, select “Rename” and change the name of your table.

Understanding DOC and DBF file formats

The DOC file format is a widely used word processing format developed by Microsoft for its Word software. It is primarily used for creating and editing text documents, including formatted text, images, tables, and other elements. On the other hand, the DBF file format is a database file format that originated with dBASE, a database management system. DBF files store structured data in a tabular format, making them suitable for database applications.

Why convert DOC to DBF?

Converting a DOC file to a DBF file may be necessary when you need to extract structured data from a text document and use it in a database application. This conversion allows you to organize and manipulate the data more efficiently within a database environment.
