Hi Tony,
If the document isn't arranged in columns or tables, or delimited in some
way, then you'll have to do that work before you can get any reasonable kind
of conversion. Excel can use almost any character (tabs, commas, percent
signs, etc.) as a delimiter; or, if you use a fixed-pitch font such as
Courier New and use spaces to line things up, Excel will let you specify the
widths of the columns in characters. It just can't work with random stuff
because it doesn't "understand" the content.
In Word, you might be able to use Edit > Replace to insert delimiters -- it
depends on whether there's something in the text that you can use as a
marker (a particular word, formatting, anything unique).
