Hi Leandro,

Basically what you'll need is a macro that goes through all the Word files, extracts the data, then outputs it to Excel (either directly or via text files) where it can be separated into columns. From looking at your attached document, it appears the first 'column' might in fact be common to all files and could serve as column headings in Excel. However, there's nothing to indicate what each of the other columns is for or to differentiate one file's contents from any other file's contents. You'll need to give consideration to these issues before much progress can be made.

Excelledsoftware: I don't see why this should go in the Excel forum, as it involves both Word and Excel.
