Usually CSV and excel file format will be used to import data as it is easy to extract data programatically. My users doesn’t like excel file format for data entry, they like word document. But I am not sure how to extract data from Microsoft word document. Has anyone tried? do you have any suggestions?
Found this link, but not sure how to create such template and what API to use in Java to extract values.
I like this answer came in comments:
You might want to explore InfoPath, its the MS forms technology and you can import forms from MS Word. – ktingle Jun 30 at 2:32
