Hi ​@hannahwh05 

What is the version of your FME Form?

Thanks in Advance,

Hi ​@danilo_fme 2024.2.4.0

Thank you! Could you share an example?

I’m using 2025.1, but I suspect it’s the same in 2024.2. I created the following Word Document:

I used the MS Word Reader and the content appears as unexposed attributes. The relevant attributes for the tables are lists called msword_table_col_header{} and msword_table_col_value{}. Apparently, it doesn’t matter if the table header is defined as a header in Word or not. In FME, the top row of the table is the header.

Each row of the table is it’s own feature. Because my tables have 3 columns, the lists have 3 values. 

You’ll have to expose those attributes as required and search them using a ListSearcher.

Hope that helps.

Thank you! That was really helpful - I completely missed the lists that could be exposed in the table view schema
