Default Get data from Word into Excel

I have a table in Word containing a database for making address labels. I was
told this is better done in excel but I do not want to retype all the data.
Is there a way to import it?

Thanks

Default Get data from Word into Excel

Copy from Word, paste to Excel, then rearrange as necessary to get each
record to be a row in Excel, and each field in the record to be a column.

Someone told you backwards.

Excel is poorly suited to create labels.

It is easier to make labels in Word from the data in Excel.

But, to copy data from Word to Excel, just copy and paste.

See help in Excel on "copy a word table into excel"
