Copy a table in a Microsoft Word document, using AppleScript
I simplified the example and was able to find a solution to the invalid &quot;copy object xxx&quot; command syntax. I still don't understand the the actual format for &quot;copy object ...&quot; in Word, but this works!
Script to select the first Table in an MS Word document and copy it to the Clipboard. Can be enhanced to read a folder of documents and process each one. Using list of tables can process multiple tables in a doc.
tell application &quot;Microsoft Word&quot;
activate
    set firstTable to table 1 of active document
    select firstTable
    copy object selection
end tell
