Show contents of Word document in cell
 

Excel 2007

I would basically like to use Excel as a Word Viewer, something like
the following.

In the cells in column A would be the names of files in a certain
folder. All are .doc files containing one or two paragraphs of simple
text (and no bookmarks). In the cells in column B would appear the
text of the files.

I was thinking Data menu Import External Data might do something,
but apparently .doc files are not valid sources.

Thanks for any ideas to point me in the right direction.
