I have multiple Microsoft Word 2002 forms with the data in form fields. I
would like to convert the data into Excel 2002 so that the data from text1,
text3, etc., are placed in an Excel table with each document's form fields in
a line of Excel. I hope to be able to import the Excel Spreadsheet into
Quickbooks 2005 as invoice data.

See the ActiveDocument.SaveFormsData property. If it is set to true,
Microsoft Word saves the data entered in a form as a tab-delimited record
for use in a database.

Hope this helps.

How do I specify the Excel data base I want it put in and make sure that it
automatically creates a new line in Excel?
