You could try deleting all unneeded lines in the word.doc file and saving the remainder as a .txt file, then, opening it with Excel will start an import wizard that should get you close to what you want.

How can I convert a WORD document to EXCEL?
Hi robert,
I'm not an expert by when i have had similar things, i have copied the text directly into excel which puts it in lots of rows but all in one column, then i use the 'text to columns' which is on one of the menus and then you can use the wizard to separate it out into its components in separate columns. Hope this helps Emma "Robert Judge" wrote: I have received a WORD 2003 document containing hundreds of names addresses, and phone numbers, an example of which is below: XYZ CO.

How can I convert a WORD document to EXCEL?
There are lots of ways to try this. So don't worry, you will definitely find
a way to get this done. One thing to look at is...how has Word separated each element of the name and address? If you set Word so that it displays non-printing characters...goto the Tools menue, then Options, then the View tab, then the Formatting Marks section...select "All". This will display the chaacters that sepertae the text. If it is tab marks or something else, when you open it in Excel, that character can be used to put each piece of text in a new cell. if it is just spaces, you'll have to try something else. The "text to columns" feature mentioned below uses this same feature. Best of luck.
