Default How to: Export from Word to Excel (beyond Copy and Paste)

I use word styles religiously. Is there a way, or an extension, to export
content from a word document into a format that is suitable for Excel?

Specifically, what I want to do is the following:
1) create a path/hierarchy structure in one cell, based upon a series of
Styles
2) add content to an adjacent cell based upon a Style

So, if I had the following styles:

Heading 1
Body 1 (for heading 1)

Heading 2
Body 2 (for heading 2)

Heading 3
Body 3 (for heading 3)

How could I create the following XLS?

Column 1 ----------------------------- Column 2 --- Column 3
Heading 1\Heading 2\Heading 3 ---- Body 1 ------- Body 2
Heading 1\Heading 2\Heading 3 ---- Body 1 ------- Body 2
Heading 1\Heading 2\Heading 3 ---- Body 1 ------- Body 2
Heading 1\Heading 2\Heading 3 ---- Body 1 ------- Body 2

Instead of the name of the style, what would go into the XLS would be the
content that style has been applied to.

Any advice on how to do this, without copy & paste, would be greatly
appreciated. Ideally, I would like to do this in a couple clicks.
