Dear all, recently I had a test on which I was required to insert a data from a word document's table, but the table in the word wasn't itself on a regular table, but instead in for of image. I did not complete that assignment as I didn't have a mere idea how it even can be done. Anyone familiar with such a thing?

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
The only way I'd say you have a chance is by using good OCR software with a good scanner. IF the text was legible, you might be able to produce a document that extracted the text in this manner and produce a usable document. You would then have to mine that document to extract the target values.

If that's not even close because you were expected to actually do it but were not given the tools, then maybe it was a trick question. Or perhaps all you were expected to do was propose a solution.
