convert a Word doc into an Excel doc.

I have several Word documents that I need to convert to Excel spreadsheets.
The Word docs contain both text and tables. I'd like to maintain positional
formatting, or at least approximate positional formatting. And, of course,
I'd like for it be be easier than individual cut/paste operations for each
piece of the Word doc. I don't mind doing each doc separately, what I don't
want to do is to have to do each paragraph and table separately.

One possible option:

Convert the tables to text separated by tabs. Then select the entire
document and copy and paste in Excel. You'll need to adjust the column
width in Excel and perhaps span columns to get the desired look.
