Sarah,

Since most of this has to do with Word, it would probably be a good
idea to ask this in the Word NG.

But first check if the word document contains any bookmarks (it may if
you're lucky = that will greatly simplify it's analysis.


That said.. if it comes from a software package..
it may be possible to use a different output or read the data directly
from the original app's database rather then parse the Word formatted
output.

Check with the software vendor to see if thay have some way of reading
their data directly, or the format they use to store stuff.
