I have a huge number of Word documents that I would like to go through and pull certain, specific information out of and list in Excel. However, it's not worth the time to do this task by hand. Is there any way I could automate this process somehow? The Word documents are specifications that are always set up the same way. I'm trying to pull the product information out of them and the product information is in the same place. Outside of mail merge, I'm not aware of Excel and Word interacting much together.
Right now I'm just wondering if some sort of automation of this task is possible?

If it's not possible to go back and do it, is there some sort of Word template I could set up where I could mark certain paragraphs as paragraphs that I wanted to pull data out of and into excel?

Any feedback will be much appreciated!
