Default Can't create a spreadsheet from a word doc?

You can probably create a table in Word and then copy your data over. See
the Help instructions in MS Word for copying tables to Excel.

I copied into a word doc the top 929 songs from a survey taken on a
local radio station. I am interested in transfering the data (#, Title,
Artist) into an Excel spreadsheet. My problem is that the delimiters
don't apply. By this I mean that a space is not conveniently the
delimeter between a title and and artist because a title can have 2 or
more words, and the same applies to the artist. Is there a work around
for this problem?
