Convert DOCX to XLSX

Word has no idea what a number is - a cell holds the characters someone typed - so figures land in Excel as numbers only where they look plainly numeric. The first table in the document is what crosses; the paragraphs around it are not rows and stay put.

What is DOCX?

What Word has saved since 2007: a zip of XML parts, replacing the binary .doc that came before it. It is a page format through and through - paragraphs, styles, revision marks - with no notion of a typed value anywhere in it, so a table in a Word file is text arranged in a grid rather than data.

What is XLSX?

A modern Excel workbook, which is really a zip full of XML. Unlike a CSV it knows what a number is, holds multiple sheets, and keeps formulas and formatting. It's what people mean when they say 'send me a spreadsheet'.
