Default converting tabular structures in a Word document into an actual tableor reading data from the tabular structures using VBA code

I have a macro which can read the last cell/column of all tables in a
Word 2003/2007 document and store the data in an MS-Access table. But,
some Word documents have the data in structures like a table format
but are not actually tables. The structure looks like a table, but the
table borders are actually line connectors. These documents were
created by a software(VeryPDF PDF to Word converter) which converted
the PDF documents(the original format these documents were) into Word
documents.

1. Is there a way I can convert/replace the tabular structures with
actual tables in Word so that I can use the macro?

2. Or, is there a way I can read the value of the last column from the
tabular structures using some VBA code?

Any advice would be appreciated.
