Default
In that case, the lines you want can probably be found using a wildcard Find, along the lines of:
Find = <[0-9]{7,9}[ ]{3}[!^13]{1,}
If you do some testing with that, you should be able to confirm that it correctly matches all your extract records with no false matches.

As for transferring the data to Access, I really don't see why you need to involve Excel - I'd have thought one just export from Word to a delimited text file and import that directly into Access?
