Default text extraction

I was hoping to develop a macro that extracts specific values from
fairly well sturctured reports in MS Word (Roughly 1000 of them). I do
not expect any miracles, but was hoping to be able to pull out a few
specific values.

Simplified Example report format:

Review No: ########
Code: #####
Title: Aaaaaa
Type: ###

(text)

I could mostly likely key in on the field headings (e.g., Review No:)
and take the next 7 numbers. But I was hoping to run through the
documents with a little more flexibility.

Any feedback on this matter or available open-source or commercial
tools.

Thanks
