Default How do I import Word bookmarks into Excel cells

Thanks for the information. The bookmarks are already in Word documents
provided by others that I have no influence over. But your information could
be valuable in some other projects in the future. Thanks again.

First, this may not help a bit...

MSWord has an option under Tools|Options|Save Tab:
Save data only for forms

From MSWord's help for that option.

Save data only for forms Saves the data entered into an online form as a
single, tab-delimited text file in plain text format. You can then import the
contents of that file into a database for analysis.

It may be something to consider if you're not too far into your project.

(If you have followups, you may want to ask in an MSWord newsgroup, though.)

I would like to create an Excel database by importing information for each
record (row) from about 30 different bookmarks in each Word document
populating designated columns at the next available row at the bottom of the
data table. I anticipate that the data base will contain a record (row) for
each of about 50 different Word documents.
