There was a post on the Gold forum where a person asked:<blockquote>I've got one document with a table (1000 rows) and I want to transfer this table into 1000 single documents. Each row one document. I get the table and the cells with a NotesRichTextNavigator. With normal text it is ok, but when I have a cell with an embedded image, I don't get the image.

If the cell has a doclink, I get the doclink with FindFirstElement(RTELEM_TYPE_DOCLINK), but how do I get an image?

Any ideas?</blockquote>Doug Cohen who works for SUNY (State University of New York) suggested that the person try our Midas Rich Text LSX.  He did, and I just wanted to share this code, which is the sample I created which does the job even more easily than I had thought.  The following code works even if (as I created in the sample) there are doclinks, images and nested tables.  Pretty good for 35 lines of code, wouldn't you agree.  I am putting this up as a sample database on our website tomorrow if anybody wants to try it out.  Look for the Parse Table sample.  Oh, and thanks to Doug Cohen!  We depend on people like Doug for word of mouth recommendations, and we appreciate them immensely when they are given publicly like this,
