Importing Requirements from a table in a excel document or a table in word

I tried importing requiremnts from a table in word file but it took the entire table of  requiremnts as one requiremnt..then i created an excel document of that table -> saved it in a CSV file -> again tried importing the file but then it says the file could not be imported....

1) Could anyone solve the issue of extracting  requiremnts  from a requiremnts table?...

2) Also is there any other means of composing the requiremnts in a table format...?

I believe this is a limitation related to a combination of (1) the minimalistic CSV format and (2) the CSV importer.

You can import a table in a Word, RTF, or OpenDoc Text file and optionally parse it into individual requirements automatically at the paragraph level (and maybe sentence level -- I don't remember the details) -- but as you report, you cannot  import and parse it at the table-cell level.  You do this manually after doing the above import within the text editor.
