convert Tif to word document saving the table format

I am trying to convert a number of multi-page TIF documents (mostly tables) into a Word document, something which MS Ofice should do - but when it tries to export the text to Word, it "encounters an error" and asks me to verify that Word is correctly installed (which it is, of course). I've tried this on two other machines and get the same error, but can find nothing about this error on the web.

Anyone got any ideas ? It's important to keep the table format of the original as reformatting it is a pain.

many thanks.

But this is only going to embed a bunch of pictures into a word document. It is NOT going to create tables you can edit!
