Update: Just read the whole post.. And I had this problem as well. ( See bottom: )

TABLE TO EXCEL I had this problem a few months ago and the following worked fine for me. The only real differences from the previous suggestions is I used the 'Range' property not the 'Range' method. 
    # This was inside a wrapper hence the Excel object was stored as b
+elow
    my $book = $self->{Excel}->Workbooks->Add;

    # I also had previously stored all the tables in the object
    my $table = $self->{Tables}->[$i];   

    # Copy the table range
    $table->{Range}->Copy();

    # Add a new worksheet
    my $sheet = $Book->Worksheets->Add;
    $sheet->Paste;

       
    $self->{Excel}->{DisplayAlerts} = False;

    $sheet->Delete();


    # Close the excel book
    $book->Close( { SaveChanges => False } );

    # Empty clip board
    Win32::Clipboard->Empty();

Without meaning to sound a pesamist this will probably be the first of many prolems. I've been working on this for last few months and other issues you'll probably face will be: 
- Merged cells: 'Only an issue if you actually want to extract the dat
+a when saved as txt tables (which I was)'
- Wraped cells in word: Wrapped cells will copy to excel to the number
+ of rows their text covers.

I've solved both the above and a few others but the solutions arn't really worth going to here.

Update: I think you can actually used both {Range} and Range to represent the property but the code I listed definately works for me. (Sorry it isn't self containing but it's quite hard to put word table object in __DATA__ ;) (I'll probably be proved wrong though) )



TABLE TITLE: The way I did this was to have a regular expresison mathcing the title paragraph and store the start location of each title and table and then merging the two arrays based on location ( My titles weren't always neatly above the table occassionally missing ).
For table start $table->{Range}{Start} For Paragraph start $paragraph->{Range}{Start}
