How do I take Word doc and put into Excel?

I have a word document that i would like to put into an excel file. can this
be done w/o copying and pasting?

The simple answer is no. The complex answer is maybe with great
difficulty, but probably not. The first question is why do you want to
do this?

If the Word file is one big table, you can try modifying the Word file
into an Excel readable format.
1) Highlight the table
2) Convert the table to text using commas as the delimiter. If there
were line breaks or paragraph markers within a table cell, you are
going to have fun!
3) Save As the file as a text file
4) Rename the files txt extension to csv
5) Open the csv file in Excel and hope that in translates

Personally I'd use cut-n-paste
