I don't think this is possible, you can only import data directly into excel from .txt files or other plain text formats.<br />
So you would have to convert each word document to .txt files, but then you would get alot of random characters between the date you want due to formatting word documents have.<br />
<br />
You can insert a word document into excel by going to insert -&gt; object -&gt; clicking the &quot;create from file&quot; tab then choosing the word document that you want to insert. The only problem is that you can't copy the text out of the word document into the excel document and you can only insert one word document into excel at a time.<br />
<br />
The only other thing that i can suggest is the one thing you don't want to do, and that is to open up each word document and copy and paste the data you need.<br />
<br />
Hope that helps,<br />

Hiya Farrahi,

You can insert a word document into excel by going to insert -> object -> clicking the "create from file" tab then choosing the word document that you want to insert. The only problem is that you can't copy the text out of the word document into the excel document and you can only insert one word document into excel at a time.

The only other thing that i can suggest is the one thing you don't want to do, and that is to open up each word document and copy and paste the data you need.

Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
